Course announcements

One can get a list of announcements for a course using  Download list-course-announcements.py

.

This program can be run with arguments of the form: course_id [start_date [end-date]]. For example:

 ./list-course-announcements.py 11
 ./list-course-announcements.py 11 2016-01-01
 ./list-course-announcements.py 11 2016-01-01 2017-01-01

The default ending date is today.

Giving the optional argument "-v" the program dumps out a lot of diagnostic information, including a pretty printed version of the list o announcements.

I added an additional program to export the announcements as a spreadsheet so that one can work with them more easily. See  Download export-course-announcements.py
