Hi James, I was pondering the same thing just the other day - trying to get flat pages from django site. Now at first I thought using *wget* would suffice, but I also needed to do other things with the files (archiving, uploading to ftp). So I needed some way of interacting with the static pages after download.
The obvious thing might have been to find a python wget module. No such luck. Also further checking wget (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wget#Criticisms_of_Wget) I found numerous things that may get in the way of extracting complete pages. For example HTTP 1.0 only support, hence js, css referenced data might not be extracted. So I looked for an alternative. cURL comes to mind (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CURL), And becuase the libCurl is exposed a python interface to cURL, http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/. Using this approach I can not only download pages with greater flexability but also script the downloads in python instead of relying on a shell command call to wget. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
