It's easy to do it manually:

>>> import urllib2

Connect to website and inspect headers:

>>> f = urllib2.urlopen("http://www.python.org";)
>>> f.headers["Content-Type"]
'text/html'

Write page content to file:

>>> with open("tmp.html", "w") as dest:
...     dest.writelines(f)
...

Did we get what we expected?

>>> with open("tmp.html") as f: print f.read().split("title")[1]
...
