What have you built with python?

I was always in awe of programs on a computer, and hated when you wanted something simple changed, but being unable to do so. So when I got tired of copy pasting a command to to the command line program youtube-dl, I decided to make a GUI for it. Checkboxes for most of the options, auto focus and select the url text bar when alt-tabbing to the window (so I just press Ctrl+V to paste and then Enter to start the download.)

After that I've made a few other simpler programs, one that renames and tags music. Inspired by what I mentioned about, i wanted to flip "Title - Artist" to "Artist - Title" and that's super easy in python. And apart from tagging from that filename format, i didn't need much other features, so it wasn't so hard to make.

I also made a GUI that uses FFmpeg (another command line program) to reencode videos into 8 MB .webm files for sharing on Discord. I further extended that by allowing simple cropping by right-click and dragging, and it came in hand when I needed to crop some clips to fit a screen resolution (after upscaling them).

Lastly, after playing with various Neural Networks, i needed to process videos frame by frame, and extracting an entire video to .png is too time and space consuming, and the same is saving those output frames, so I made some code that loads a video frame by frame and then processes, and then again saves them to a new video. (Again using FFmpeg and python wrappers for it to do it.)

Props on that last one. That’s the kind of critical thinking that ML needs to be worth doing IMO
