To save a webpage to a file:
-------------------------------------
1. import urllib
2. urllib.urlretrieve("http://econpy.pythonanywhere.com
/ex/001.html","D:\file.html")

Note, for paths on windows you really want to use a rawstring. Ie,
r"D:\file.html".
Thanks.
I actually use "D:\\file.html" in my code.
Or you can do that. But the whole point of raw strings is not having to
escape slashes :)
Nice. Where/how else is 'r' used?
I'm new to python, but I learned that one the hard way.
I was using "D\testfile.txt" for something, and my code kept failing.
Took me a while to figure it out. I tried various letters after the
slash. I finally stumbled across the escape slashes in the docs somewhere.
