[Tutor] can I walk or glob a website?

[Albert-Jan Roskam]

Hello,

How can I walk (as in os.walk) or glob a website? I want to download all the 
pdfs from a website (using urllib.urlretrieve), extract certain figures (using 
pypdf- is this flexible enough?) and make some statistics/graphs from those 
figures (using rpy and R). I forgot what the process of 'automatically 
downloading' is called again, something that sounds like 'whacking' (??)

 Cheers!!
Albert-Jan

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public 
order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the 
Romans ever done for us?
