GUI Demo: Generating Files Using YT Transcript Scrapper with PySimpleGUI v1 – Part 2

In this tutorial, we will continue exploring the YT-transcript-scrawler-generation-files-GUI-PySimpleGUI v1 demo1 part2 demo by creating a graphical user interface using PySimpleGUI.

PySimpleGUI is a Python package that enables developers to quickly and easily create GUI applications. It offers a simple and intuitive way to build user interfaces without the need for complex code or design tools.

To get started, make sure you have Python installed on your system. You can download the latest version of Python from the official website (https://www.python.org/downloads/).

Next, we will install the PySimpleGUI package by running the following command in your terminal:

pip install PySimpleGUI

Once the package is installed, we can begin creating our GUI for the YT-transcript-scrawler-generation-files-GUI-PySimpleGUI v1 demo1 part2 demo.

First, create a new Python script and import the necessary packages:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

Next, we will define the layout of our GUI. In this demo, we will create a simple window with a text input field for the YouTube video URL and a button to initiate the transcript scraping process.

layout = [
    [sg.Text('Enter YouTube Video URL:')],
    [sg.InputText(key='url')],
    [sg.Button('Scrape Transcript')]
]

Now, we will create the window using the layout we defined:

window = sg.Window('YT Transcript Scrawler', layout)

Next, we will create a loop to handle user input and events:

while True:
    event, values = window.read()

    if event == sg.WINDOW_CLOSED:
        break

    if event == 'Scrape Transcript':
        # Add code to retrieve transcript from YouTube URL

Inside the ‘Scrape Transcript’ event handler, we will add the logic to retrieve the transcript from the YouTube video URL. This may involve using the YouTube Data API, web scraping, or any other method of extracting the transcript data.

For simplicity, let’s assume we have a function called ‘get_transcript’ that takes a YouTube video URL as input and returns the transcript text.

transcript = get_transcript(values['url'])

Finally, we will display the transcript text in a popup window:

sg.popup('Transcript:', transcript)

That’s it! You have now created a simple GUI for the YT-transcript-scrawler-generation-files-GUI-PySimpleGUI v1 demo1 part2 demo using PySimpleGUI.

You can further enhance the GUI by adding additional features such as progress bars, file saving options, or error handling. Feel free to experiment and customize the GUI to suit your specific needs.
