. (e.g.course._requester._cache
) - Files can now be downloaded directly from the
File
object in one of two ways: (Thanks, @DanBrink91)get_contents

)download
will download the file and save it to the provided path. (e.g.file.download('example.txt')
)
- Moved several methods exclusive to the API Key owner's user from the
User
