If you use this, you don't need a python interpreter because everything is packed for you.

thieme-dl is a command-line program to download PDFs from eref.thieme.de. It requires the Python interpreter, version 2.7, or 3.2+, and it is not platform specific. It should work on your Unix box, on Windows or on macOS. It is released to the public domain, which means you can modify it, redistribute it or use it however you like.

The application needs no arguments.

You have to input an ebook suffix. Example:
