## Packt Ebook Download Manager
For the [Packt free learning challenge](https://pybit.es/codechallenge22.html) I'd like:
1. Notification mail or tweet (TODO)
2. Download manager
3. Auto-add new books (captcha, kinda game over)
I tackled number 2 first, here is [my first go](https://github.com/pybites/100DaysOfCode/blob/master/072/packt.py).
Wow login with requests is easy! Thanks Julian for [reminding me](https://pybit.es/requests-session.html).
### Example
