Minerva Transcript Fetcher, and MyCourses CLI logon

Uses Mechanize to fetch transcript from Minerva, and authenticate from the CLI for MyCourses.

Usage:

pip install -r requirements.txt

NOTE: check Requirements section for note about Python3.

To get your transcript, type:

python login_minerva.py

You will be prompted for your McGill username and password. If you want to login into your MyCourses from the CLI, use this script:

python login_mycourses.py

However, not sure if it's working. Haven't gotten time to test.

Requirements:

• Python 2.7
• Note: there's no official support for Python 3+ for mechanize, the headless browser library that the script uses. There are workarounds; if you have the time, you could port the script to Python 3+ by forking it and sending a Pull Request.
• Mechanize
  • (To get mechanize, use your package manager; if you're on Debian/Ubuntu, just type sudo apt-get install python-mechanize. Else, you could use pip to get mechanize thusly: pip install mechanize. To get pip, use easy_install: easy_install pip. To get easy_install, use your package manager {or sudo apt-get install python-setuptools python-dev build-essential on Debian})
