For all the Dartmouth students who are struggling to find their Spring courses, I wrote an app that will monitor full courses and tell you when there is an availability via email.
Here is the code on github:
https://github.com/deloschang/course-watch/blob/master/coursemonitor.py
Basically, given the class you want to search, it scrapes Dartmouth's Course timetable online via post requests and then looks for the appropriate cells. Then it will sleep for half a minute, or however long you want, before checking again. If there is an availability, it will notify you via email.
Feel free to fork and improve on it.
