Python Project Alarm

The document describes a Python Command Line Interface (CLI) application that functions as an alarm clock, allowing users to set alarms that play a random YouTube video from a specified list. It includes sample code demonstrating how to create a text file for video URLs, validate alarm time input, and calculate the time until the alarm goes off. When the alarm triggers, it opens a randomly selected video from the list in a web browser.

Alarm Clock

This is an interesting Command Line Interface (CLI)


Python application for an intermediate-level
developer. People across the globe use alarm clock
features in their devices but this project can be altered
in a bit different manner. Some certain YouTube links
can be added to a text file and the project is
programmed in a way that when a user sets an alarm
then the code shall pick a random link from the video
and will start playing the YouTube link.

Sample Code:

""" Alarm Clock


----------------------------------------
"""
import datetime
import os
import time
import random
import webbrowser
// If video URL file does not exist, create one
if not os.path.isfile("youtube_alarm_videos.txt"):
print('Creating "youtube_alarm_videos.txt"...')
with open("youtube_alarm_videos.txt", "w") as
alarm_file:

alarm_file.write("https://www.youtube.com/watch?
v=anM6uIZvx74")

alarm time"""

// Load list of possible video URLs
