DESCRIPTION

Simple tool to download video lectures from edx.org. It requires the Python interpreter (> 2.6), youtube-dl, BeautifulSoup4 and it's platform independent. It should work fine in your Unix box, in Windows or in Mac OS X.

DEPENDENCIES

youtube-dl

We use youtube-dl to download video lectures from Youtube, with the main idea being that "we don't want to reinvent the wheel". Make sure you have youtube-dl installed in your system. Also, since Youtube changes its layout frequently, make sure that the version of youtube-dl that you have installed is the latest. If in doubt, run youtube-dl --update.

You can find youtube-dl at https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl.

BeautifulSoup

Scrapping the web can be very silly task, but BeautifulSoup makes it so easy :), it isn't included in the python standard library. Make sure you have BeautifulSoup installed.

You can install it with

pip install beautifulsoup4

or

easy_install beautifulsoup4.
