If you are familiar with parsing XML, much of the data you need is
stored in the following file:

elements/elements.xml?revision=34&content-type=text%2Fplain
Here's a quick BeautifulSoup script to read it into a python dict.
It misses anything not a scalar, but you can easily modify it to
include arrays, etc... in the xml.
hope it's useful. certainly a neat site!
