I only just started Python and given that I know nothing about network programming or internet programming of any kind really, I thought it would be interesting to try write something that could create an archive of a website for myself.
Please send your emails as text, not html; this is a text-based mailing list.
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.
If for some reason you don't have rsync, you could use scp. But it doesn't seem to be able to preserve attributes. It's also not smart enough to only copy stuff that's been changed, when you want to update incrementally.
