PyLmod provides a Python library to access the MIT Learning Modules web service (described below). PyLmod was created to support MIT's use of OpenedX for residential courses, but the library is open source to enable easier access to that service for Python application developers at MIT. PyLmod encapsulates the Learning Modules web service making it more pythonic and easier to incorporate into Python applications.
The MIT Learning Modules web service, maintained by MIT Information Systems and Technologies (IS&T), exposes an API to MIT systems of record for classes, students, and grades. Its documentation for gradebook and membership is available at these links.

The Learning Modules web service requires authentication by x.509 certificates. You must create an application certificate and config the Learning Modules web service to recognize it. This is done directly through the Learning Modules web interface and is outside the scope of this guide.
