This project looks really cool - congratulations!

I suggest packaging this up as a full command-line tool and publishing it to https://pypi.org/ so that other people can install it using pip install youtube-scraper or similar.

I've written a number of tools like this - https://github.com/dogsheep/github-to-sqlite and https://github.com/dogsheep/twitter-to-sqlite for example - and I've developed a cookiecutter template for them which you are welcome to use.

That repo has instructions for using it. You would need to convert your requirements.txt into lines in the setup.py file and switch over to using Click for the command-line options, but that's hopefully pretty straight-forward.

If you decide to do this and the README on https://github.com/simonw/click-app isn't clear let me know, I'm keen to improve it.
