Downloading a file from a shared data library

[Patinetilla]

Hi there,
Is there any way of downloading a file from a shared data library? Similar to datasets.download_datasets but for files in libraries.
Thank you very much in advance.

Hi @Patinetilla , thanks for opening this issue. You are correct that this is not yet available in "normal" BioBlend, but it is when using BioBlend.objects: https://bioblend.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api_docs/galaxy/all.html#bioblend.galaxy.objects.wrappers.Dataset.download (Dataset is an ancestor class of LibraryDataset).
I am working on adding a download_dataset() method to LibraryClient for "normal" BioBlend, but it may take a bit of time since I'd like to refactor some code in common with the history dataset download.

Thank you very much for your answer, @nsoranzo! I will try it.

Hi again @nsoranzo! I have tried to implement your solution but I am bit lost with the input arguments of that class. Could you please provide me an example snippet? I would really appreciate it.
