For the backup program (this only applies to windows). Rather than using a python scheduler which needs the python script to be running 24/7 (and hence to be restarted everytime the computer is restarted). You can use Windows Task Scheduler to call your script on a schedule that you set, and it will persist even with restarts. Obviously the video is a python tutorial, but if anyone is interested in building something like the backup script I think it is a useful addition. Thanks for the great vid as always!

I feel like you're speaking directly to me in every video! Your Flask tutorials have been on my mind lately, dreaming of launching an API and the build process has been very enlightening

Thank you so much, Tim! These three examples have a lot of stuff I need in my next project, perfect for me as a quite beginner! :)

i love how you explain every single line of code. University professor should start doing that lol

simple and clear naration, i like it

Thanks for the reinforcement for the beginners

The last project was awesome!

I can't believe I actually watched the entire video. I gained a lot from it, really

Just a small addition, if you have 2 or more mp4 types, like 720p and 1080p, it will download the 720p version all the time. I've tested this against a few online downloaders / a few videos. Not a big issue, most of the time, but still, better to know about it :)

Thank you Tim.

Sir, you are very* good at the things you do. Tyvm for sharing. 🙏

Should I add these projects to my cyber security portfolio or these are not related or are too beginner projects.... reply please

You are awesome! Thank you!

Great video! 😀

Wow Tim you are gem😊😊😊

good video Tim

Good morning Tim, I am having a issue with requests package. I have looked up so many answers but i cant seem to figure a work around can you tell me how it works on your system? PS. I'm on am M1 mac Thanks, Terry

thanks Tim❤

I did the same code in visual studio as you did, and it doesn't run, output an error that say pytube module is not defined and I did thr comand pip install pytube in pycharm and it says thats already satisfied

Great video 👍🏻

idk why youtube video downloader script is not working its throwing me error like bad request. i checked the url & everything is correct but its throwing me that error. is it due to bug of pytube or what?

Well we are not receiving any email verification message during sign up for currency converter API.

how long does it take to featch API in currency?

Thanks

Is there a more elegant way of having the Python script running all day? Like if you run the script in the Terminal or something else maybe? I don't like the idea of having VScode open all day 24/7.

If you are on windows, imo the best way is to use windows task scheduler to schedule the script instead of a python scheduler. Task scheduler runs in the background anyway and doesn't need to be started every time the PC restarts. The downside is it is a windows feature; not sure if Linux has an alternative, but Mac doesnt

@Jon_405

You can run it without vs code by using powershell or cmd to run it then keep that window open. It shouldn't really need to take up any resources. But windows scheduler is probably a better long-term solution.

Can someone tell me the theme name 🤔

I'm getting this error on the second project: I'm using a Mac M1. Does anybody knows how to fix it ?

same specs and problem

Can it be used to also download the mp3 from the youtube video?

Is anyone else getting 720p when they try this code for the KZread downloader? And I checked, the video I tested on had up to 1080p available.

To be honest, you should just finalize a ‘fix pip’ video rather reusing the pygame video. It’ll be short and simple but more searchable for average users.

Yes

KZread downloader doesn't work on Python 3.8 on Linux Tim is using 3.9, and got version 15 of pytube. I normally use 3.8, and its latest pytube is 12. I get HTTP error 410 on every video I try with 3.8 I also have 3.10 installed. pip3.10 gets pytube 15.0.0, and that works correctly using python 3.10 instead of 3.8

Well.... It doesn't open the window to choose the folder I want video to be downloaded, it just stays in run mode after typing the yt link.... It works properly only in debugging mode... Any idea why this happens?

um.. i dont have a website url nor company name isnce im juts a beginner trying to learn python , and hubspot is asking for those 2 pieces of info, what should i do?

Can anyone solve my issue? For project 2, the youtube to mp4 convertor, it threw an error that said: "python: command not found". Here is my code and I am working on a mac: from pytube import KZread import tkinter as tk from tkinter import filedialog def download_video(url, save_path): try: yt = KZread(url) streams = yt.streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension="mp4") highest_res_stream = streams.get_highest_resolution() highest_res_stream.download(output_path=save_path) print("Video downloaded successfully.") except Exception as e: print(e) def open_file_dialog(): folder = filedialog.askdirectory() if folder: print(f"Selected folder: {folder}") return folder if __name__ == "__main__": root = tk.Tk() root.withdraw() video_url = input("Please enter a KZread URL: ") save_dir = open_file_dialog() if save_dir: print("Started download...") download_video(video_url, save_dir) else: print("Invalid save location.") thanks!

It looks like you might not have Python installed. Are you using Windoze? I believe that requires you to do your own install. On my Ununtu 20.04 system, just plain "python" points to Python2: I have to type "python3" to get Python 3.8. I've read that support for Python 2 is being dropped by some. Maybe you only have Python 3?
