I don't know what is giving you that message. You should be able to right-click 
on 
the web page, and choose "Save Page As..." and then save it as "Web Page, 
Complete". 
Save it as "pycon_tutorial.html" and then when offline you can File|Open from 
your 
web browser, point it at the file, and read.

I just tried this with Firefox and it worked fine.

The above instructions should work. If not, let us know what browser you are 
using.

But then we'd have to remember to recompile the PDF every time we make a little 
change. I guarantee we'd forget. I suppose we could write a script that would 
wget 
the file and associated image files, and run that through html2pdf, but is that 
really necessary if you could just do that yourself? You may want PDF, someone 
else 
may want plain text, etc. etc.
