Getting Started

Dependencies

You will need to install the following packages: pip install requests beautifulsoup4 colorama.

Afterwards, you can simply clone the repository (or download the code), then run the available scripts in tau_tools using Python 3, e.g. python3 courses.py.

This will create a JSON with the result in your current directory.

Roadmap

• Get courses
• Get plans
• Create a nicer interface to the IMS
• Create a nicer interface to the Moodle
• Make the scripts accept command-line parameters
• Add the package to PyPI for a simpler installation
