is there any documentation for use youtube-dl as a python library in a project?
I know that I can use the main class, but I can't find any documentation or example...
import youtube_dl
ydl = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(params)
... ?
If you download a version from github you can generate sphinx-docs which is useful for developement. Then using pythons help function usually gives some idea what the purpose of a function is
>>> import youtube_dl as yt
>>> help(yt)
Furthermore I find ipython a useful tool to explore code using the %edit magic.
%edit yt.main
would bring you directly to the source of the main function.
