Hi

We have now updated our first scraper to use Python-libzim: youtube2zim,
cf. https://pypi.org/project/youtube2zim/

See release 2.1.7 Changelog:
* using zimscraperlib 1.2.0
* replaced zimwriterfs with pylibzim
* tmp-dir now sanitized as build-dir
* fixed --debug not forwarded in playlists mode
* changed workdir to /output in docker image

As a consequence, anybody on macOS or GNU/Linux can now simply install
and then create ZIM files from a Youtube channel/user/playlist with
youtube2zim:
$sudo pip3 install -U youtube2zim
$youtube2zim --help

Other scrapers to follow in the next weeks.

Regards
Emmanuel
