You should not ever use mutable default args. The documentation benefit is drastically outweighed by the potential for nasty bugs. http://pythonconquerstheuniverse.wordpress.com/2012/02/15/mu...

If you are on a *nix machine you can run:

wget -rkp -l3 -np -nH --cut-dirs=1 http://www.blurofinsanity.com/mit/lockpick.html

If on mac os you'll need to brew install wget or follow this tutorial to use curl http://psung.blogspot.com/2008/06/using-wget-or-curl-to-down...

After you've downloaded the website you can run a simple server in a terminal by navigating to where you downloaded the website and running

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Then navigate to http://0.0.0.0:8000/lockpicking.html in your web browser.

LPT: I do this with coding tutorial sites before getting on planes so I don't waste money buying internet and time browsing other content.
