One could just use any of the available HTTP libraries to download stuff.

@ritiek's answer is useful but closing as unrelated to spotipy.

Use the wget module in python.
It is easy to use.

import wget
file = wget.download(url)

hi! for posterity, tried the ones above and they didn't really work for me. So, I found an easier way.

Just use :

import urllib.request
example_url = 'https://p.scdn.co/mp3preview/c1d518645f20aecb3c6d2b5b93af4a96af57c35fcid=157d02760f23471aa57b6a700a78c863'
urllib.request.urlretrieve(example_url, 'test.mp3')

that will create a file called test.mp3 with the audio contained in that url
