It requires lxml and unicodecsv, both can be installed with pip:
pip install lxml
pip install unicodecsv
On Ubuntu, you may also need to install additional packages with the following command:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python-dev zlib1g-dev
Just run ucscx.py and redirect the output to a file:
python ucscx.py > courses.tsv
Then import the tsv file to the application of your choice, e.g. Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, Sqlite, or shell commands.
For example, to get the ids and names of all the offerings in Bash, you can run:
cut -d$'\t' -f1,2 courses.tsv
To get all the Java courses, run:
cut -d$'\t' -f1,2 courses.tsv | grep -i java
