What version are you using? It works well on my computer.

Same error for me : )

@fcervigni and @dhruvkapur91 , what version are you using?

Hi shk3,

Sorry, I should have added the context in the first place. [ I am using Mac OSX 10.8.4 and Python 2.7.2. ]

I have actually realized that when I cloned the repository, today, I did not get the master. I had, instead, the commit 620a67c , back from Date: Fri Oct 26 16:57:29 2012 +0200

I now have manually downloaded the master, and it works. THANKS FOR NOW anyways @shk3 , nice script and UI :D

I might investigate better the reason for this tomorrow.

Maybe this might be the same problem encountered by @dhruvkapur91 ?

Ok, I had originally downloaded another project ( github.com/emadshaaban92/edx-downloader ) that is a fork of this, and which is not updated since 2012 and gives that error.

Why ?

Because it was linked in this Q&A that came 1st searching "edx download all lectures" on google :

http://www.quora.com/edX/What-are-some-easier-ways-to-download-lectures-on-edX

Thanks for your time @shk3, and @dhruvkapur91 please clone this project.

I am using Python 2.7.3 and cygwin

This still doesn't solve the problem for me.

I did the following again-
$ git clone https://github.com/emadshaaban92/edx-downloader

$ python edx-dl.py dhruvkapur91@gmail.com password
Traceback (most recent call last):

Please help

Thank @fcervigni for letting us know the reason. @dhruvkapur91 , please clone the project at https://github.com/shk3/edx-downloader.

@emadshaaban92 , is it possible to make a notice on your working copy to prevent users from using the old version?

[mr-nano]

@shk3 Thanks. This finally works :D
