My friend fails courses during freshmen year and are taking special course this semester. The schedule in mycuinfo looks like this:

This fails python with a error

      tempClass["startTime"] = dateAndTime[1].split("<")[0]
 IndexError: list index out of range

I get this error
line 25, in __init__ 1].split('"')[0] IndexError: list index out of range
when trying to create the CUSession class. It seems like the html is for this error page.

Hey,

Are you still actively maintaining (and updating) the API and accepting pull requests with new features?

Because of some very recent changes to myCUinfo system, this line attempts to convert some non-numeric characters to float. And the program breaks there.

I did some checking and this is what the webpage looks like now (5/26/2017):

And this is the source code for the radio buttons and the continue button (click to expand):

These actions are clearly JavaScript driven. Since (correct me if I'm wrong about this) requests cannot carry out JavaScript commands, it looks like we need to look at another package like selenium to do this for us.

Here is the website for quick access (you might need to login)

What do you think should be done?

I've used BeautifulSoup in the past for scraping webpages and it really helps clean up the code for something larger like this. It's a jQuery like style of extracting data, and seems a little less error prone then just plain string parsing. Might be a good fit for this project

The method info() is not working. Perhaps this is because CU changed the way they display user information, here is the error I get when running this code.

Note: This works fine when I use the classes() method.

loginUser = mycuinfo.CUSession(user, password)
userinfo = loginUser.info()

Traceback (most recent call last):
