I only just started Python and given that I know nothing about

create an archive of a website for myself.
To archive your website, use the rsync command. No need to write any
code, as rsync will descend into all the directories as needed, and
it'll get the actual website data, not the stuff that the web server
feeds to the browsers.
How many websites let you suck down their content using rsync???
The request was for creating their own copy of a website.
Clearly this was his own website, since it's usually unethical to "suck
down" someone else's. And my message specifically said "To archive
*your* website..." As to the implied question of why, since he
presumably has the original sources, I can only relate my own
experience. I generate mine by a python program, but over time obsolete
files are left behind. Additionally, an overzealous SEO person
hand-edited my files. And finally, I reinstalled my system from scratch
a couple of months ago. So in order to see exactly what's out there, I
used rsync, about two weeks ago.
