How to check if video has been deleted or removed in youtube using python

[jehoshua]

You most first install a version and then set it as global.
Example if i want to use 3.8.1 on my Linux Mint 19.
...

Thanks, that nearly worked. At least Python 3.8.1 got installed

:~$ pyenv install 3.8.1 Downloading Python-3.8.1.tar.xz... -> https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.1/Python-3.8.1.tar.xz Installing Python-3.8.1...

Changing the interpreter system wide can result into unexpected bugs.
For example if there is a Python2-Only script on the system and incompatible to Python 3,
then it won't run. I'm not sure if all os-specific tools do have Python 3 support.
Better is, if you change your local environment.

pyenv global system pyenv local 3.8.1

Then try again to run python.

Thanks, I did the following

:~$ pyenv global system :~$ pyenv local 3.8.1 :~$ python Python 2.7.12 (default, Oct 8 2019, 14:14:10) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> exit() :~$ 

Possibly if I determine what python packages are dependant upon version 2.7.12, and remove those packages if they are not required ? Then uninstall python version 2.7.12. Sounds messy, I'm in the process if updating the OS, so will do that as a matter of course.

I guess you've forgotten to add

export PATH="/home/public/.pyenv/bin:$PATH" eval "$(pyenv init -)" eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

to your ~/.bashrc

Before you do it, change the path: /home/public/.pyenv/
Your path is different.

You should also check your environment (shell, not Python):

env | egrep "SHELL|PYENV_SHELL|PYENV_VIRTUALENV_INIT|HOME|PATH"

Output:
SHELL=/bin/bash PYENV_SHELL=bash PYENV_VIRTUALENV_INIT=1 HOME=/home/public PATH=/home/public/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv/shims:/home/public/.pyenv/shims:/home/public/.pyenv/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games

With the command which you can see the path of a program:

which python

In my case this is returned:

Output:
/home/public/.pyenv/shims/python

If you get a path to /usr/bin/python, then something with the PATH environment variable is not right.
Just check, if you have done the steps (adding code to .bashrc) to install pyenv.


PS: Python 3.8.2rc1 was released.
To get the new version of pyenv:

cd ~/.pyenv git pull

export PATH="/home/public/.pyenv/bin:$PATH" eval "$(pyenv init -)" eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"

to your ~/.bashrc

I had added 2 of the 3 lines ?? Anyway, the third line is added now and I rebooted.

You should also check your environment (shell, not Python):

env | egrep "SHELL|PYENV_SHELL|PYENV_VIRTUALENV_INIT|HOME|PATH"

Mine was ..

Output:

With the command which you can see the path of a program:

which python

In my case this is returned:

Output:
/home/********/.pyenv/shims/python

PS: Python 3.8.2rc1 was released.
To get the new version of pyenv:

cd ~/.pyenv git pull

I tried that but it thinks 3.8.1 is the latest ?

:~$ cd ~/.pyenv :~/.pyenv$ git pull Already up-to-date. :~/.pyenv$ python -V Python 3.8.1 :~/.pyenv$ python Python 3.8.1 (default, Feb 17 2020, 13:06:58) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> :~/.pyenv$ 

Also, before adding the environment packages and settings, when I did a pip list there were quite a few packages shown. Now there are only two ?

:~/.pyenv$ pip list Package Version ---------- ------- pip 20.0.2 setuptools 41.2.0

EDIT - It's resolved regards the packages and pip. I obviously need to reinstall the missing ones
