I've handled this kind of thing by creating a hidden iframe and pointed source to the file - it then asks where to send.
        <iframe id="downloadFrame" style="display:none"></iframe> in html

This in the code:
var ifrm = document.getElementById('downloadFrame'); ifrm.src = '../lib/download.jsp?filename=' + filename + '&filetype=xls';

The download.jsp just does;
  response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=\"" + filename + "." + filetype + "\"");

and then reads the file and writes to response output stream. I guess that is simple enough to do in python too.
