How can I use Python to download a video from a website?

Question

There's a really cool course on Kadenze on machine learning.

Much like coursera-dl does, I would like to download all of the course videos so I can reference them later.

For simplicity's sake, let's assume I've logged in and have access to the page with the videos on it.

How can I download the video(s) on the page with Python?

Extra info (will be edited as more information is found):

• There doesn't seem to be a specific URL for each video that I can access. (Pressing "Copy this link" on the buttons that go to the next videos results in javascript:void(0); on the clipboard.

I know very late to this game, but youtube-dl seems ideal for this purpose. The name is a misnomer they cover many more video hosting sites (other than youtube), and works very well.
