Unable to download .py files in the current version

[ramahozo]

I remember that I can download .py files (the exercises files that are actually submitted; my own submitted exercises codes) in the previous version. For this newer version, after login I just simply enter datacamp download all --no-videos so I can get the data without videos like I previously did, but after checking the downloaded files, there is no single py file at all (there are only .md files) in exercises folders, why? Did I miss something? I rechecked the docs.md but can't find the solution.

In the previous version, only the code you wrote was downloaded. Now, everything about the exercises gets downloaded as .md file including the python code or the solution (the official solution NOT your solution). For example, if you check this link, you will even find the pre-exercise code included.

Ah, so I can no longer download my own solution, is there a way for the solution to be separated from the file? Better yet if it is my own so it would be familiar to me. I generally used this program so I can review what I've learnt (but forgot) by just files-searching my own codes with *.py filter, the other things in .md are just redundant and making me read it slower. Not sure if others want this but it would be nice if the 'downloading own solution + separate .py files'-feature comes back :)

This sounds great to me. What do you think of including --python option to allow downloading your own solution as a python file?

That would be nice, thx :)

This feature has been added. Do you mind testing it and confirming that it works? @famaouzi

Yes, it works! I guess I will close this issue then, thx again :)
