pafy, pytube, youtube-dl, or ?

RyanSamman commented 4 years ago

its probably @chonix, @LeftySolara , and your call to choose the backend library to use, since you guys are more experienced and will be the ones doing most of the backend work, and I'll do what i can to help once you choose one though, and maybe make a working prototype later, this is the card which has the APIs which have the most potential: https://github.com/orgs/python-20/projects/1#card-31175117 Feel free to add more links if you find something else which is suitable

leaning towards pytube

chonix commented 4 years ago

pytube is dependancy free and also has integrations with ffmpeg, which does things easier... we can change the "engine" after all parts are assembled

Not much discussion but I think we all seem to setting on pytube
