The goal of this tutorial is the download and load into the python script of a youtube video.
To do that we need another two modules python.
First, I download and install the python 2.7.12 32 bit version from the internet.
C:\Python27>python.exe
Python 2.7.12 (v2.7.12:d33e0cf91556, Jun 27 2016, 15:19:22) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (
Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
First update the pip tool and install numpy python module:
C:\Python27\Scripts>python -m pip install --upgrade pip

The main reason to have the numpy python module: it is often used with OpenCV python module.
For OpenCV python module installation you need to see my tutorial.
After you install it, test the OpenCV python module:
C:\Python27>python.exe
Python 2.7.12 (v2.7.12:d33e0cf91556, Jun 27 2016, 15:19:22) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (

>>> import cv2
>>> print cv2.__version__
3.0.0
Install pafy python module.
This module help you to download video from youtube but you need also the youtube-dl python module.
So let's install the youtube-dl and pafy python modules.
C:\Python27>cd Scripts
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install youtube-dl
Collecting youtube-dl
Downloading youtube_dl-2016.12.1-py2.py3-none-any.whl (1.5MB)

I make a simple python script named: get_yt.py.
The source code of this script is simple:
import os
import pafy
# Download the video
video = pafy.new('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5VCjktWVD4')
print "video.title"
print video.title
print "video.rating"
print video.rating
print "video.viewcount, video.author, video.length"
print video.viewcount, video.author, video.length
print "video.duration, video.likes, video.dislikes"
print video.duration, video.likes, video.dislikes
print "video.description"
print video.description
resolution = video.getbestvideo(preftype="mp4")
print "resolution"
print resolution
input_movie = resolution.download(quiet=False)
print "input_movie"
print input_movie
print "delete movie"
os.remove(input_movie)
I used the URL of a video clip from youtube channel of Arden Cho to tested.
If you want to keep the video into your folder just remove the last line from the python script.
The result is this output:
C:\Python27>python.exe get_yt.py
video.title
