Answer 1

Your issue is, the Code is not able to find the file "_version".

I would suggest you go to coursera_dl github page -> https://github.com/dgorissen/coursera-dl

Download zip from the link which can be found on the right side of the page.

in the zip file you will be able to find a folder by the name of "courseradownloader".

Extracts all the files in this folder into yout C:\Python34\Scripts folder.

It will work like a charm.

PS: I would suggest you use .netrc file to store Username and password.
