Thanks for informing me that it is not legal to scrape http://www.indianrail.gov.in. I am rewriting the code to scrape only http://indiarailinfo.com, which does not explicitly forbid scraping. Is it legal to scrape such a site (without overloading it)? Is it legal to share that code?


I'm not sure if there are any general rules/guidelines in India for this. However, IndianRailInfo doesn't have any Copyright/Disclaimer mentioned on their homepage. So I see no reason why it should be a problem. Re:Source, till it's not used to scrape Copyright/private data, it shouldn't be a problem. Mention this clause in the disclaimer/license. Will you be putting it on GitHub?


Thanks everyone for the comments. I updated the links and now downloads are working. Sorry for the delay.


Thanks everyone. I created this page long back, but later ReadtheDocs.org started offering PDF downloads of docs, making it redundant. Django is available at http://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/django/latest/django.pdf


Also see http://readthedocs.org/projects/django/ for a couple of other formats: ePub and manpage (that's a long manpage...)


Would people be interested in a Downloadable HTML version as well? RTD only offers PDF for the moment, but supporting a downloadable HTML zip would be pretty simple to do as well. I note that it's the other part of the OP that isn't supported.


1.2.4 and all the other versions that are built are also available. They aren't linked from the site, but are get-able with a little URL munging:

http://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/django/1.2.4/django.pdf


Thank you! I appreciated the thoughtful "Why?" column as much as the offline docs themselves.


Thanks sramana!

I can't wait for the Indian and western programming cultures to become more intertwined. I feel like we have a lot to gain from each other.
