Solving the Advent of Code 2023 in Python.
The aoc_downloader.py can be used to create a folder and download the input for a specific day.
Place aoc_downloader.py in your AOC folder and install the dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt.
The session cookie needs to be stored in a file config.json in this format:
{
"session_cookie": "your-session-cookie-here"
}
Running python path/to/aoc_downloader.py creates a directory with the input file inside.
Passing the optional parameter --day or --year forces the download for a specific date, otherwise it defaults to the current date (The month is always assumed to be December).
The optional parameter --py adds a templated python file to the created directory.
For example, running
python path/to/aoc_downloader.py --day 17 --year 2021 --py
creates the folder and files as follows:
advent-of-code/
|
|-- day17/
| |
| |-- input.txt
| |-- day17.py
|
|-- aoc_downloader.py
