Question: I'm trying to save the contents of an entire Wordpress site using python and without ftp / server access. In other words, I want to save a "complete copy, or closest possible" of the Wordpress site to disk and I can't download everything from ftp / server.

I've found some options to iterate through the various pages that make up the site, but nothing that will "save the site as a whole."

Answer: 
If you really want to use Python and nothing else, you could use [wpull](http://wpull.readthedocs.org/en/master/index.html), which is a wget clone written in Python. They have an example for archiving/downloading an entire website in their docs.

```
wpull billy.blogsite.example --warc-file blogsite-billy \
--no-check-certificate \
--no-robots --user-agent "InconspiuousWebBrowser/1.0" \
--wait 0.5 --random-wait --waitretry 600 \
--page-requisites --recursive --level inf \
--span-hosts --domains blogsitecdn.example,cloudspeeder.example \
--hostnames billy.blogsite.example \
--reject-regex "/login\.php"  \
--tries inf --retry-connrefused --retry-dns-error \
--delete-after --database blogsite-billy.db \
--quiet --output-file blogsite-billy.log

```
If you can, and you should, mantain all WordPress modeling tables, you might want to use a WordPress feature (also plugin) called Migrate...You might have it, so, if you can go to your Administration Panel (aka /wp-admin) you can loggin and use
<http://yourdomain.com/wp-admin/export.php>
This way, you will get a XML that you can use to import to your python project. There are also some plugins that export a full .sql file 

Remember, all content is basically into the MySQL tables, so that all you need there
