Really ? FYI, Python is full of one-liners both of the command-line
variety and the code variety.

Here is one which works as a miniature wget using urllib.

$ python -m urllib <url> > <file>

For example, to save http://www.python.org to a local file,

python -m urllib http://www.python.org > python.html
