d2d is a tool to download all of the content from the University of Waterloo's new learning management system which uses Desire2Learn instead of the old Angel based UWACE.

d2d was inspired by Jamie Wong's fabulous UWAngel-CLI written in Ruby.

d2d is somewhat hacky and has not been tested extensively. If you do find a bug, please let me know

Installation

To install, just do:

python setup.py install

Usage

Using d2d is easy:

d2d --username scholida -i ".*.wmv"
