This is a functional beta for synching a local folder on your computer to your McGill mycourses classes it grew out of my hatred of worrying about wether or not I had everything that I needed downloaded from MyCourses. It was built using a combination of mechanize and selenium to scrape the links from your course pages and then download them locally. Ideally it would be something that you have in cron so that you would NEVER NEED TO USE MYCOURSES EVER AGAIN.
At the moment all you need is python, pip and firefox, all of the python dependencies are in requirements.txt
pip install -r requirements.txt
Also edit the config-example.yaml file so that it uses your credentials and the correct course. All courses should appear as they do in mycourses ie "Fall 2015" or "Winter 2013"
just run 'python main.py' and you should be good to go.
Note: Though it was built with firefox I would ideally like to get the project tested with PhantomJS for true headless syncing TODO: Write usage instructions
