It is quite a risk having raw passwords on disk. On each run the program should ask you for your username and password.

An ideal solution would be a hybrid input - if settings.py already specifies a username and password, then use those, otherwise ask for it via std in.

The reason for storing the username and password inside settings.py was so that the program could be ran regularly (e.g. once a week) as a cron job, keeping your local copy of lecture podcasts up to date.

Do you want to do this?
