If you have mercurial installed, you can easily download a read-only 
clone of the peps repository (hg.python.org/peps, I believe). You can 
even pull updates whenever you feel like it.

One can also clone the main repository and build the regular docs, 
including the html version thereof. Again, pull and rebuild when you 
expect to be offline.
