If your primary intention is to download that file, you can use the requests library, as Bruno pointed out in the comments. Install it via the command-line tool pip:

$ pip install requests

Then you can import the library and download your file as such:

import requests

# ... other code

if lay1 == '1':
    with open('google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb', 'wb') as f:
        r = requests.get('https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb')
        f.write(r.content)
