I need a python script that will do the following:

  1. connect to a URL, and that URL will return a number like 1200.

  2. Use the number, to download xml files named: 1 to x where x is the number from #1.

  3. store the files in a particular directory.

Sorry I've never written a python script, so if you could guide me along that would be great (maybe with a some comments).

I will be running this as a cron job if that matters.
