Grouped Responses about canvasapi HOT 2 CLOSED

I'm in a situation where I need grouped submissions, and I know rewriting the models takes a lot more work to get it into the library properly, but wouldn't it make more sense to allow the user to call grouped data and have the warning prompt them to process the Submissions themselves?

My solution was to format each submission as JSON using .to_json() and then manipulate with the standard JSON library. For instance:

data = []
course = canvas.get_course(123456)
assigns = course.get_multiple_submissions(student_ids='all', assignment_ids=(111111, 111122, ...), grouped=1)

for a in assigns:
    data.append(json.loads(a.to_json()))

for item in data:
     # do whatever formatting you want with JSON

It's a little brute force, but it works. Reenabling the grouped flag in the method **kwargs makes it easier and faster to get multiple, specific assignments. I'd like to be able to deploy the project I'm working on eventually and it'd be a bummer to have to fork and reference a custom build of the library for that one option.

(Love the library, by the way. Thanks for releasing and maintaining such a great tool.)

I'm moving some methods over to the Section module and this limit also exists for section.list_multple_submissions on line 245.

     if 'grouped' in kwargs:
         warnings.warn('The `grouped` parameter must be empty. Removing kwarg `grouped`.')
         del kwargs['grouped']
