pn-yt2slides 0.2.0

Simple helper to download YouTube videos as MP4 using yt-dlp.

pn_yt2slides

pn_yt2slides is a minimal Python helper that downloads YouTube videos as MP4 files using yt-dlp.

Features

• Fetches the best available MP4 (video + audio) rendition for a YouTube URL.
• Saves the file to a configurable output directory.
• Returns the absolute path to the downloaded video for easy scripting/integration.

Installation

pip install pn_yt2slides

For local development:

git clone https://github.com/PurnimaNahata/pn_yt2slides.git
cd pn_yt2slides
pip install -e .

Usage

from pn_yt2slides import download_video

file_path = download_video("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ")
print(file_path)

By default the video is saved to a downloads/ directory in the current working directory. You can override this by passing a custom path:

download_video(url, output_path="/path/to/folder")

Command-Line Demo

The repository ships with a small example script:

python testing.py

It downloads the sample video and prints the final file path.

Requirements

• Python 3.8+
• FFmpeg available on your PATH (required by yt-dlp when merging video/audio streams).
• Python dependency: yt-dlp
