 """
 Module for downloading lecture resources such as videos for Coursera classes.
-
 Given a class name, username and password, it scrapes the course listing
 page to get the section (week) and lecture names, and then downloads the
 related materials into appropriately named files and directories.
-
 Examples:
   coursera-dl -u <user> -p <passwd> saas
   coursera-dl -u <user> -p <passwd> -l listing.html -o saas --skip-download
-
 For further documentation and examples, visit the project's home at:
