Im trying to make a program that uses youtube-dl and puts what it returns into a .txt (Preferably as its generating, in case I need to end the program)
Example of what I mean by 'What it returns'
Video/Playlist?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQo_S3yNa2w

The above is just a sample of it, but anyone who works with youtube-dl knows what Im trying to use
This is my code that I need this for, in python. Ive tried searching stackoverflow, but its been no help at all Everything either involves the linux/windows terminal, which I am currently unable to test with
from __future__ import unicode_literals
import youtube_dl
url = input("Video/Playlist?")
if (url == input):
url = str(input)
ydl_opts = {}
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
ydl.download([url])
