Python Wiki
You said you wanted to mirror the Python wiki on the CD, here is a little script to suck the pages from the wiki to a folder:
1 import socket, os, sys, urllib2
2 socket.setdefaulttimeout(15)
3 from time import sleep
4
5 def suckwiki(pagelist, #url to plain text list of wiki pages
6 rawpage, #url to raw wiki text of a page
7 foldername="wikifiles", #name of folder to save files to
8 sleeptime=1 #seconds to sleep between page accesses
9 ):
10 foldername = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0])), foldername)
11 if not os.path.exists(foldername): os.mkdir(foldername)
12 opener = urllib2.build_opener()
13 listrequest = urllib2.Request(pagelist)
14 listresponse = opener.open(listrequest)
15 sleep(sleeptime)
16 for pagename in listresponse:
17 pagename=pagename.strip().replace(' ','_20')
18 print pagename
19 fullpagename = rawpage % {'pagename':pagename}
20 pagerequest = urllib2.Request(fullpagename)
21 page = opener.open(pagerequest)
22 f = open(os.path.join(foldername,pagename),"wb")
23 f.write(page.read())
24 f.close()
25 page.close()
26 sleep(sleeptime)

28 if __name__ == '__main__':
29 pagelist = "http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/TitleIndex?action=titleindex"
30 rawpage = r"http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/%(pagename)s?action=raw"
31 foldername = "pythonwiki" #name of folder to save pages to
32 suckwiki(pagelist,rawpage,foldername)
