Hello,
I would like to download all the flags from the
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gallery_of_sovereign-state_flags so that I can
create a flags sprite from this.
You did -- most of the time when you look at a page the files were
copied onto your machine.
The flags seem to follow some order in that all the svg files are in the
following pattern:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag_of_*.svg and then on this page there is
the link of the file.
I have looked at using Twill to follow each link and record the actual url, but
can somone point me at a simpler solution.
Use 'Save As' from the file menu. Select complete web page. Et voila!
In python you'd spend a a lot more time getting up to speed on urllib or
httplib or Beautiful Soup...
Emile
