Description Thomas Guymer 2023-11-25 06:21:41 UTC 
Hi,

"www/yt-dlp" installs fine and the binary "yt-dlp" works fine too. Where is the Python module "yt_dlp" installed though? In the "EMBEDDING YT-DLP" section of the README on GitHub there are examples of how to use the Python module directly for enhanced functionality. I have a script which does this on MacOS and it works fine, but running the script on FreeBSD returns the following error:

>>> import yt_dlp
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'yt_dlp'

I tried searching my filesystem for a folder called "yt_dlp" but nothing came up. There doesn't appear to be any reference to copying files over in the Port definition either, the only things that I could find were some references to "yt_dlp" in https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/main/www/yt-dlp/files/patch-Makefile#L31-L34 but these appear to be just making the binary.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Is it as simple as appending a path to my "sys.path", if so, which path should I append?

Cheers,

Tom

Hi,

Installed files are listed here: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/www/yt-dlp/pkg-plist

The port of yt-dlp doesn't package the module. Looking at GitHub that also seems to be the case looking at official release packages.

Please don't open bug reports for support requests, use the mailing list(s) instead.

Hi Thomas,

The way how yt-dlp install itself is into one binary pre-compoled file.

For the Python module to be available python files need to be installed separately.

I didn't realize that yt-dlp is usable seeparately.

I will resolve this next week.

That's great, thank you Yuri.

Hi Yuri,

Have you been able to take a look at getting the port to install the Python module as well as the compiled binary? Did it turn out to be non-trivial?

Thanks,

Tom

I've added the port www/py-yt-dlp-devel with all python files for the purpose of extending yt-dlp.
