This script saves in *.xlsx file information about 20 random courses of Coursera.

Python v3.5 should be already installed. Afterwards use pip (or pip3 if there is a conflict with old Python 2 setup) to install dependecies:

pip install -r requirements.txt # alternatively try pip3

Remember that it is recommended to use virtualenv/venv for better isolation.

The script has one optional argument - full path of output file. By default the script outputs result in courses_info.xlsx located in script`s directory.

Output file contains these course features: name, language, start date, weeks of study, course rating and URL.

To run script on Linux:

$ python coursera.py -o courses.xlsx

Windows usage is the same.
