"wget" in Python

[CaptainPinko]

i've been searching for a library in python to get a webpage, no luck. calling wget is out of the question since i want to use this in xp too

You might try:
http://www.cygwin.com/
or
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

This doesn't answer your python question though

[CaptainPinko]

i'm look for a pure python solution... or java since i could use jython

[baldguy]

This is probably what you need then.
google up httplib , urllib and python

Really, you could use wget in windows if you wanted to.

There is a wget binary available for Win32 boxen, and you can use the os.system(command) function in the os library to run the path to wget.
