So many Python project videos on KZbin claiming to be "for beginners", but the only comprehensible lines of code are the imports. As a person *just* dipping his toes into Python - never touched a library or read API documentation - I'm very grateful for this video. Was able to follow along with all three projects and added some additional features by following the APIs. 🙏 bless!

I once made the pdf merger and photo editor but didn't thought that you could literally download yt videos! Finally not more ads from yt download websites

[@dameanvil]

00:02 🐍 Python projects are simple and practical, fostering immediate application. 01:00 🖼 Image editor project utilizes Python's library for easy photo editing, offering potential automation for repetitive tasks. 05:21 🎥 KZbin downloader project enables video downloads with just a few lines of Python code, eliminating the need for premium services. 09:26 📚 PDF merger project simplifies file management by combining multiple PDFs into one, enhancing efficiency. 13:01 🐚 Shell scripting enhances workflow automation by enabling program execution directly from the command line, reducing manual intervention.

The first line on the top of the Shell Script is called Shebang. This line represents the type of shell that the user will use when running the script. It is important to know this.

As a person who just started learning python. I wanted see some practical applications of this language to motivate myself. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!

[@OnlyMon0]

Another great tip for merging PDF's on a mac is: after highlighting them, left click --> Quick Actions --> Create PDF

[@HIMANSHUPANDEY-cn3ob]

Hi, the video was good. One thing that I want to point out is that in your code for PDF merging, the "merger.write()" command should be outside of the for loop. If not then the files will be merged multiple times as long as the loop goes on. Thanks

[@jhamsyt]

Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video!! I am an intermediate hobby-coder, I took Python for GIS in college and this video was easy for me to follow. There were some workarounds I had to implement as I'm working with a fairly fresh install of Ubuntu 22.04, but was able to have my code exit the same way yours did without too much downtime. Highly recommend this video to anyone that wants practical experience without watching another "print(hello world)" tutorial!!

[@LukeRadick]

From learning other languages I found using the language in a real world situation is the best way to learn and remember. This was a great video, please keep doing them!

[@elgato2584]

I ran the ytDownloader on a Windows machine. I had to add the "r" in front of the file path for the download folder to get it to work but other than that it works flawlessly. Great video.

[@bishalkumarshaw2789]

Yes it is necessary because of the '\' sign inside the path. If we don't write 'r' at the beginning then '\' this sign is treated as an escape element like ' ', '\t' and more. To avoid the error we either write 'r' at the beginning or we can also give '\\' doubt oblique sign instead of '\' single oblique sign inside the path wherever it is present.

[@adrianf2310]

even for me who is 50 years old, and not very knowledgeable in coding, this seems like something I could learn

[@thatsreallyamoon]

Watching your video kickstarted a good motivation in me to finally go ahead and start Python for real. Even with an MS in Physics, my experimental work has actually never needed too heavy of a coding (mostly just a lot of MATLAB and other tools like SolidWorks, etc). KZbin downloader seems like an amazing little project I can customize and maybe even learn UI development!

Something I did recently in Python, was to create a Python program that would call out to the wikiservice using sparql, where I would grab certain information used from the result of the query to be used to place in a JSON file.

My first real and useful project that I decided to do was an automatic image downloader that could detect the exact type of images you wish to download from a website. I was too lazy to do it manually so I wrote a script that selectively got the images, saved them in separate folders and sorted by date. Not too shabby if you ask me

I've been a photographer for over 40 years (graduated from US Navy Still Photography A School in Dec 1979) and I always get a chuckle when people say, "you can apply the same edits to all of youur photos. That is NEVER a good practice.

[@Leblueskee]

Change your camera workflow and you'd be surprised. Blemish fixes obviously not but basic contrast saturation and things like that mass edits are amazing. 6 years of festival photography I could get through thousands of photos in a few hours and they always looks amazing if the customer wanted to remove a pimple or something I charged extra but even then it was only a few seconds of editing. Now obviously if you're doing high end model work or something creative then batch edits wouldn't make sense unless you planned for a certain color tone

I god damn downloaded a random video from KZbin!!!! OMG, from my phone, with almost ZERO knowledge hahaha, this is AMAZING!!! THANK YOU, so so much :)))

[@khisrowhashimi]

Someone must've already said this, but you need to have your `merger.write("combined..")` function call outside the for loop. Otherwise, when there are non-pdf files inside the folder, it will create buggy combined PDF files.

[@kageno8165]

There's the solution! Thanks :)

[@viallymboma9874]

Just a little correction of your code for merging the pdf: files = ["/home/vially/WORK/osw/file1.pdf", "/home/vially/WORK/osw/file2.pdf"] for file in os.listdir(os.curdir): if file.endswith(".pdf"): merger.append(file) print(file) merger.write("MainFile.pdf") Actually the merrge.write has to be outside of the for loop as well...I ws getting the same PDF many time before i got the ast pdf in the array only once. But when i brought the merge out of the for loop i got each of the pdf only ones...But this applies in a case when you have more than 2 files in the directory...you can even define which files you wanna loop by putting them in an array

[@eksplosivt6341]

Just a quick thing, when you import things like os, sys, etc. you dont need one line for each, you can just say: "import os, sys, time, random" in one line for example.

10:30 terminal window using shell scripting. 12:40 let's see if I made mistakes. 14:10 where you would normally run your python code in your WD. PWD: present working directory. CD: correct directory 14:50 include this line at the top of all your shell scripts.

[@505indrishscse7]

CD stands for Change Directory.

[@happysprollie]

Quick note for those who may get confused (like I did): the KZbin script won't download 4K video - it won't even download 1080p. Due to KZbin's use of the DASH protocol for higher resolutions, the max resolution that this script can handle is 720p. DASH downloads audio and video separately and you need to post-process to combine them, using something like ffmpeg.

[@nigelpallatt]

Could you explain? What should I put in instead of: get_highest_resolition? Thanks

[@neilpatrickhairless]

This sounds like a ton of extra unnecessary work when honestly there are youtube downloader sites by the thousands on the internet. Decent example of something that COULD be done, but doesn't really give an actual reason why anyone WOULD do it.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

FWIW that script throws 400: Bad Request errors so it's outdated in relation to the way KZbin handles requests or something anyway. Too much extracurricular work involved bothering to find out why

[@YeanGuy666]

Thank you for these super cool libraries. Instead of: from sys import argv, You can used: import argparse parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(description="Python script to download KZbin videos") parser.add_argument("--input", "-I", required=True, help='Read R1', type=str) args = parser.parse_args() from pytube import KZbin link = args.input

[@SerDunk-224]

Great guide, thanks for the video! I followed it and tried downloading this very video and it worked, however it didn't download the 4k version, but the 720p. So I started digging into the pytube docs and found out that get_highest_resolution() will only work for videos up to 720p (aka "progressive streams"), because for videos of higher res YT delivers video and audio separately ("adaptive streams"), so we'd have to dl them separately and then combine them. I'm looking into it.

[@InternetMadeCoder]

ooh really, I had no idea, thanks for sharing this! So that is why so many videos I download only have 720p haha. Awesome stuff mate!

Thanks for this tutorial. It's good for intermediate devs like me, not for beginners though😊.

[@nickult]

Good stuff, i always felt like i need some motivation to use python and its really good for everyday automation stuff. I tend to have a lot of files monthly to sort of archive into folders with dates and such which is how i learned Rust XD. I am gonna be making a newer version in python for archiving them more organized with hopefully more sophisticated date and subfolder selections. On another note, for everyone who might copy the merger, the merger.write("...pdf") should be outside the loop so that it only runs once after the loop finishes to avoid potentially writing the same file as many times as the number or files in the same folder(pdfs or not). I often use cloud backups for important works and it can sometimes mess with their sync attempts. (And yes i understand probably more people commented about this or similar)
