MLH's webpage listing all the hackathons going on in a particular year does not list the hackathons in the order in which they are announced. Meaning, it's difficult to see know which hackathons just appeared on the list. It'd be nice to know which hackathon you haven't yet looked at. Well, that's what this script does.
You should use Python 3.x.
You may need to install the requests and lxml library. The easiest way is to run pip3.x install requests && pip3.x install lxml where 3.x stands for the current version of Python 3 that you have installed. Only replace the x. Obviously, you'll also need to have Python 3 installed.
To use this script, just open up terminal, cd into the appropriate directory, and then type python3 MLH_Hackathon_Tracker.py.
