Packtpub Downloader is a small tool that allows any registered account to automatically download all the ebooks (ps: more options to come). It will download everything: .pdf, .mobi, .epub and the zip file if any.
It is always better to create a virtual environment to isolate Python environments.
Assuming you already have a working Python environment set up, open up a terminal and refer to the virtualenv webpage to set up everything.
Installing the dependencies
Now that you have the sourced the environment, run the following to install the dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
The username and password are mandatory:
python pbdl.py -u myemail@mail.com -p mypassword
I've set up multiple arguments for you to provide, those can be shown using the following command:
python pbdl.py --help

Packtpub.com has a free ebook available each day, I didn't want to download my 100+ ebooks I had on my account, so I developed this.
If you feel in the same situation, feel free to use this :)
