import urllib.request as req
from datetime import datetime, timedelta


def download_csv(download_url):
    request = req.urlopen(download_url)
    yesterday = datetime.date().today().isoformat().replace("-", "") - timedelta(1)
    filename = yesterday.strftime('%Y%m%d')
    file = open("C:\\Users\\atul.sanwal\\Desktop\\" + filename + '.csv', 'wb')
    file.write(request.read())
    file.close()

Change it to:

from datetime import datetime, timedelta

yesterday = datetime.today().date() - timedelta(days=1)
filename = yesterday.strftime('%Y%m%d')

print(filename)

Output:

20210716
