Using pyedflib to import edf files, is it possible to import datasets directly from their source? Or is it always necessary to download data and import locally?
for example, I would like to do this:
pyedflib.EdfReader("https://www.physionet.org/pn6/chbmit/chb02/chb02_02.edf")

import pyedflib
import os
url = "https://www.physionet.org/pn6/chbmit/chb01/chb01_01.edf"
filename = "./chb.edf"
try:
from urllib import urlretrieve # Python 2
except ImportError:
from urllib.request import urlretrieve # Python 3
urlretrieve(url,filename)
pyedflib.EdfReader(filename)
os.remove(filename)
