Hi Michele
you definitely need another library in order to serialize geometries
in different formats (like shapefile or PostGIS).
You may give a try to the GDAL Python bindings or to the GeoDjango
GDAL API, and use these in conjunction with OWSLib.

But before writing any code: have you tried to use the GDAL ogr2ogr
utility with the WFS driver?

ciao
