Get YouTube Video is a service menu for KDE.

Usage:
Right-click onto a link to a YouTube video or at the background of the YouTube site showing the video and choose action -> Download YouTube Video -> ...

Install:
cd ~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
tar xvzf /path/to/youtube-servicemenu.tar.gz

I made some modifications to the YouTube Service Menu. It didnt work for me, so I looked at the source. I added a differnent method to guess the video_id and I added additional parameters to the query string to download the video.

The query-string trick is:
video_id is a part of the site-url, in which the video is embedded:

video_ids = set(re.findall(www.youtube.com/v/([-A-Za-z0-9_]+), data))

or

m = re.search(video_id=(?P [-A-Za-z0-9_]+), data)

or

m = re.search(v=(?P [-A-Za-z0-9_]+), data)

Then I do:

url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=%s" % video_id

Now url points to a site in which the video will be embedded, so I can apply following regular expression to its contens:

m = re.search(watch_fullscreen?(?P .*?)&fs=1&title=" + "(?P

atropine is a screen-scraping library built on top of BeautifulSoup.
atropine helps programmers make assertions about document structure while getting at the data they are interested in.
atropine library was developed under Python.
Special thanks to Piet Delport for the resolver, null resolver, chain-of-resolvers ideas.
Please note, using this library is not as complicated as it sounds, it consists of only 275 lines of python.
It is better to get no data than to get the wrong data.
The key to screen-scraping the right data is to make a painful amount of assertions about document structure
Enhancements:
- Some unused imports were removed.
- A text only version of the reference was added.
- Things were generally tidied up.

kapt-get is a graphical frontend to apt-get, specifically for RPM-based systems. kapt-get is not a direct drop-in replacement for the apt-get command, but it provides a good way to add a GUI to an otherwise command-line operation (in scripts, etc).

So, rather than typing "apt-get install foobar" for instance, you would type "kapt-get --install foobar." Another "key feature" is the ability to update the repository database as well as perform another operation in the same command. For instance, "kapt-get --update --dist-upgrade" will first run apt-get update and then apt-get dist-upgrade and give a GUI to the whole operation.

PerlQt 3.009b2 or higher is required to run this program. I highly doubt that it will run with an older version. apt-rpm is also required. It will not work with apt for dpkg, but Id be willing to accept patches. The whole app will be rewritten for 0.4.0 which may make it easier to add support for it.

To install, type "make" and then "make install" as root. There is no "configure" script, so there is no need to run ./configure.

TRANSLATORS NEEDED! If youd be willing to translate kapt-get into your native language, I would be forever grateful. Contact me if interested.
