This is a script which can be run at the beginning on the week to generate a complete Marvel pull list, excluding any series the user doesn’t want.

import os
import marvelous

# Your own config file to keep your private key local and secret
from config import public_key, private_key

# All the series IDs of comics I'm not interested in reading
# I pull these out of the resulting pulls.txt file, then rerun this script
IGNORE = set([
    19709, 20256, 19379, 19062, 19486, 19242, 19371, 19210, 20930, 21328,
    20834, 18826, 20933, 20365, 20928, 21129, 20786, 21402, 21018

# Authenticate with Marvel, with keys I got from http://developer.marvel.com/
m = marvelous.api(public_key, private_key)

# Get all comics from this week, sorted alphabetically by title
# Uses the same API parameters as listed in the official API documentation

# Grab the sale date of any of the comics for the folder name
directory = pulls[0].dates.on_sale.strftime('%m-%d')

# If there's no folder by that name, create one
if not os.path.exists(directory):
