Youtube Downloader 2

Today marks the first day of actual development on the youtube downloader version 2. For this version, I plan on adding a few useful features and changing the underlying workings and dependencies. Here are some ideas:

• Make dependencies lightweight by looking at dependency source code
• Remove shelve and replace by json file reading and writing

Feature additions:

• Download playlist
• Single video downloader

Possible additions:

• Channel name search?
• Continuous integration?

For one, I don’t think shelve is necessary for saving simple strings of urls. The multithreading is very nice in the previous version and I am very proud of it. I would like to organize this by making issues and refactoring the code so that it is more readable.
