1 year ago Hi, thanks for filing this issue! I think this issue should might be addressed with release 0.6.7 (which I will release soon).
However, there might be another issue with pipx, since on both mac and Windows I get
$ pip install pipx
$ pipx install yt-videos-list
Fatal error from pip prevented installation. Full pip output in file:
PATH_TO_THE-cmd_timestamp_pip_errors.log
pip seemed to fail to build package:
yt-videos-list
Some possibly relevant errors from pip install:
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
error: metadata-generation-failed
Error installing yt-videos-list.with the following in the PATH_TO_THE-cmd_timestamp_pip_errors.log file:

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed
× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.
note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.
hint: See above for details.However, on Debian I get the following (but I might have set up my virtual environment incorrectly here/misconfigured something else):
$ sudo apt-get install python3-venv # already have python3 so did not need to install that
$ python3 -m venv venv && source venv/bin/activate && pip install pipx$ pipx install yt-videos-list
No apps associated with package yt-videos-list or its dependencies. If you are attempting to install a library, pipx should not be used. Consider using pip or a similar tool instead.but all 3 of those outputs differ with what you saw:
PIP STDOUT
----------
PIP STDERR
----------
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement yt-video-list (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for yt-video-listMy guess is your issue might still related to the incorrect version specifier I was using in the setup.py file, so if this is indeed the case, your problem should be addressed with the new release. If you're interested, you can take a look at the recent commits Pin usable urllib3 verions, Update save_thread_result package dependency version number → 0.1.1, and Fix python_requires value (and the corresponding commit message for each).
Also, what OS are you using? If you're on Linux, even if release 0.6.7 fixes the installation problem, the package might not work properly since I haven't gotten around to making yt-videos-list fully compatible with Linux distributions yet due to the selenium, browser, and Linux specific distro compatibility complexity, and so using yt-videos-list on Linux requires a bit of manual troubleshooting. I have plans to make yt-videos-list easier to use on Linux in the future, but this is just a heads up in case you want to use this on a Linux distribution right away.
