    download="data-download.csv"
    href="javascript:;" 
    onclick="downloadOCFile(this, 'equity')">

Use following code if you using flask

from urllib import request
from flask import send_from_directory

@app.route('/download_file')
def download_file():
   file_name = 'document_template.xltx'
   wb = load_workbook('document.xlsx')
   wb.save(file_name, as_template=True)
   return send_from_directory(file_name, as_attachment=True)
