File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/wget.py", line 77, in filename_fix_existing
name, ext = filename.rsplit('.', 1)
ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack

Answer 1

The filename could not be retreived through the url, nor the HTTP headers. I would suggest setting the output filename yourself:

import wget
url = "http://api.example.com/tracks/41078914/stream?client_id=d97babdd9960f87d30831e0eb9d"
file = wget.download(url,out="myFile.mp3")
print(file)
