Introduction

The modules in the project depend on the following modules. If they are not present in your execution environment, they will need to be added.

cElementTree or ElementTree

The XML parsing and generation for this library is carried out by ElementTree. There are two versions of Element Tree which work with this library, but I recommend using cElementTree as performance is better than for ElementTree.

If you are using Python version 2.5 or higher, you will not need to install this package separately.

Instructions for downloading and configuring cElementTree can be found here: http://effbot.org/zone/celementtree.htm

httplib

httplib has been part of the core Python library since version 2.0, so it should already be present on your system.

urllib

urllib is also a core Python library, so you should not have to install it.

For some reason I don't have the module named "atom" installed...: Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<pyshell#84>", line 1, in <module>
import atom

ImportError?: No module named atom where can I get it?

I can't get the library to 5-star a video. I keep getting the error:

code? UnboundLocalError?: local variable 'rating_uri' referenced before assignment [/code]

I've tried using the natural link that is given to me through the id.text method as the argument for video_entry, but that doesn't work. I get the same error using the actual video id as well, which is gotten by rsplitting the link with a delimiter of '/' and a max of 1 separators.

Can anybody advise?

I know that the 5-star system has been deprecated by YouTube?, but when I looked at the ratings in the atom responses it seems like the rating-system just goes by Like/Dislike. I was hoping that in a way the 5-star rating could act as a "Like" until the library is updated.
