A python script to "clone" codes in eden.

I use eden and I like this nice OJ website, though it has something annoying yet...So, that's why I write this script to help me clone the code files. Our TAs usually tell us that we should compile and debug our code in local compiler and debugger, for which we have to copy the code to the local folder. But when we meet an assignment that has many files(maybe more than 10 files!), we have to copy them one by one. Why not use clone like git's git clone?

Just clone this repository, or only copy the .py file in it. Put the .py file to the folder you want to set your code. Then run it! In Windows, maybe you can double-click it and it runs itself or you can double-click the "get_codes.exe" in "exe" folder. In Linux, you may cd to your folder and python get_codes.py.

Then, input your username, password and the assignment's id (please get it from the browser's url).

For example, if you want to clone Digraph(DS)(15C++), whose url is http://eden.sysu.edu.cn/m/ass/6183/, then you should input "6183" (no quote).

Then you can input a folder name, and the program will clone the files there.

Now you can save your username and password in a file, so that you can skip the input next time.

0.Able to save username and password to skip inputting them next time. (Thanks for mgsweet's suggestion)

1.Able to be used on Windows even without Python installed. (Thanks for iebb's suggestion)

2.Removed some useless comment.

3.Now the program won't print your username and your password after saving them. (Thanks for Mensu's suggestion)

4.Able to be used by Python3. (Thanks for iebb's code)

It is very imperfect that maybe anyone can contribute to this lovely tool. So, feel FREE to make Pull Request. I will be very grateful and accept your hard work (if the code work well).

• Maybe we can implement the function "put the code in another path".

• Create Makefile automatically.

• Download multiple assignments at once.

• To be honest.....I know my code is messy or even unreadable, I hope I will have time to add some comment and make it better. Also, if you can understand my code, you can add comments on it!
