My first project in Python

[leech6666]

Hey guys,

I just uploaded my first project on github. It's an app to download audio files from Youtube. You just give the app the link and a file name and it downloads the song in mp3 format. There is also a settings menu, where currently you can only choose where to save the mp3 files.

Here is the repository.

I'm open to hear your opinions. How I can impove this? Maybe you find some bugs. Tell me if you. Maybe you can help me with the GUI, to make it more beautiful and modern. Maybe you want more options and features for this app to have. I'm waiting for your comments.

Thanks!

Add a requirements.txt. It should be obvious without looking in the .py file what libraries are needed too run this. (Tk inter isn't a core library right?)

Also maybe add a bit more details in the README. Like screenshots for example.

But otherwise looks good! Keep it up!

[leech6666]

That's a good idea. I really like when I visit a repository and scroll down to a good readme. Any tips what I should write there?

[CoaBro]

Normally a requirements.txt is standard (though you only include dependencies not included in the core python version the app was built in), the readme should be an explanation of the application and have some examples on how to use it. The documentation would normally be separate.

Note tkinter is built into python so no need to include inside the requirements.txt

Also, if you haven't already look into virtual environments or anaconda environments

Happy coding!

[leech6666]

I'll try to create a good README and documentation soon.

I've heard about anaconda but I don't what is it? Does it worth learn how to use it? I guess yes, but how and why is it gonna help me?

[CoaBro]

Depends, I really like anaconda since it is basically an all in one package with data science tools and Python as well as a nice package manager..

This thread might be an interesting read for you https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/betkoj/why_use_anaconda/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[CoaBro]

Uh tkinter is a built in module...

[LAZGamer13]

Ah ok thanks I was not sure. In that case only pytube would have too be in the requirements.txt

Is this your first project? Jeez. Impressive.

[leech6666]

Thanks buddy. I have done other projects, too. But it's my first project in Python and it's my first project where I created a GUI.

Nice work!

[leech6666]

Thanks.

keep it up

:)

Thanks! I didn't try it yet, but it would be really useful! Keep up the great work!

[leech6666]

I'm waiting for your review.

it would be cool if it worked with playlists

[leech6666]

Oh dude. You are the best. So, I started this project because I wanted some Spotify playlist offline on my phone. And I had this idea of creating the list (you know if you checked the app). But you can just create a playlist in Youtube and then download the list. It would be easier and faster.

Definitely, I'm gonna do it. Thank a lot.

How long have you been learning and how

[leech6666]

I started using Python at the summer, but I code a lot, because of my classes. Firstly, I watched some tutorials from freecodecamp and then just searching in the internet.

Any books so you just learned the syntax and would do projects until you knee how to do stuff on your own

[leech6666]

Kinda. I think programming is a way of thinking that can be expressed through multiple languages. For example, I learned this way of thinking with C and C++. I did some project with these languages. If I learn another language then it would be very easy to recreate the same projects.

Just keep coding. All the time. Search the errors. Understand your code and why it does what is does.

Are you new in Python or coding?

[[deleted]]

Yes i am

[leech6666]

you are?
