Think about the time you waste right-clicking and saving course lectures on YouTube one-by-one. Inefficient process, can cause errors and you lose focus. pytubefix eliminates that bottleneck. Today is day 3 of mastering YouTube with Python. You already know how to get stats of a single video; or download them in various formats. Now time to level up with playlists.
Pytubefix has a Playlist object that provides methods to interact with all videos inside a YouTube playlist simultaneously.
Here we go... 📦 Import relevant libraries. Assign playlist url to Playlist object

Welcome back to Pandas Daily! Your daily 5-minute boost to becoming confident in Python. Last week we introduced numpy. Created bunch of arrays, sliced them and did some math with them. To prepare data for machine learning or any analysis, we need to learn to control their shape. Today - Reshape flat lists into grids. Flatten 2D tables back to 1D arrays. Create arrays filled with zeros, ones, or random numbers. ⏪ Recap: See dimensions first In: import numpy as np sales = np.array([120, 340,...
Welcome back to Pandas Daily! Your daily 5-minute boost to becoming confident in Python. TGIF! Everyone is talking about AI. Most people take courses. You're going to build it instead.
