• udemyscraper.export submodule for exporting scraped course.

Changes

• Udemyscraper.py has been refractured into 5 different files:

  • __init__.py - Contains the code which will run when imported as a library
  • metadata.py - Contains metadata of the package such as the name, version, author, etc. Used by setup.py
  • output.py - Contains functions for outputting the course information.
  • udscraperscript.py -Is the script file which will run when you want to use udemyscraper as a script.
  • utils.py - Contains utility related functions for udemyscraper.

• Now using udemyscraper.export instead of udemyscraper.output.

  • quick_display function has been replaced with print_course function.

• Now using setup.py instead of setup.cfg

• Deleted src folder which is now replaced by udemyscraper folder which is the source directory for all the modules
