I have modified the code to:

def DownloadFile(target, source, env) :
file = open( str(source[0]), "wb" )
stream = urllib2.urlopen( str(target[0]) )
file.write(f.read())
file.close()
stream.close()
return None


def url_emitter(target, source, env) :
if not(isinstance(source[0], SCons.Node.Python.Value)) :
raise SCons.Errors.UserError("URL must be a value type, not
'%s'" % source[0].__class__)

#if target[0] == source[0] : *1*
# target[0] = str(source[0]).split("/")[-1]

# remove http prefix
target[0] = str(target[0]).replace("http", "")

return target, source

I need remove the automatically file extraction, because this creates
the problem, that Scons creates the "Do not know how to create a target
from source" message.
If I uncomment the *1* lines, scons run into the exception on the
Builder.py line 489 with this code:
try:
t_from_s = slist[0].target_from_source
except AttributeError:
raise UserError("Do not know how to create a target
from source `%s'" % slist[0])


The next problem is, that Scons adds to the target name, if it is set,
the prefix "http", I don't understand it.

The builder call must be
env = Environment( BUILDERS = { "Download" : Builder(action =
DownloadFile, emitter = url_emitter, prefix = "http", single_source =
True, target_factory=File, source_factory=Value ) } )
env.Download( source="htt://url/ftp/lua-5.2.1.tar.gz", target="file.tar.gz" )

So in this case, I need the string replace in the emitter, because
source changes the file name to "httpfile.tar.gz"
I need set the target and source parameters, but now the error "scons:
*** [file.tar.gz] http://url/file.tar.gz: No such file or directory"
occures.

Thx

Phil
