+Add an import in
+\f[C]youtube_dl/extractor/__init__.py\f[] (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/__init__.py).
+.IP " 6." 4
+Run
+\f[C]python\ test/test_download.py\ TestDownload.test_YourExtractor\f[].
+This \f[I]should fail\f[] at first, but you can continually re\-run it
+until you\[aq]re done.
+If you decide to add more than one test, then rename \f[C]_TEST\f[] to
+\f[C]_TESTS\f[] and make it into a list of dictionaries.
+The tests will be then be named
+\f[C]TestDownload.test_YourExtractor\f[],
+\f[C]TestDownload.test_YourExtractor_1\f[],
+\f[C]TestDownload.test_YourExtractor_2\f[], etc.

+Have a look at
+\f[C]youtube_dl/common/extractor/common.py\f[] (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py)
+for possible helper methods and a detailed description of what your
+extractor should
+return (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py#L38).
+Add tests and code for as many as you want.
+.IP " 8." 4
+If you can, check the code with

+When the tests pass, add (http://git-scm.com/docs/git-add) the new files

+.SH EMBEDDING YOUTUBE\-DL
+.PP
+youtube\-dl makes the best effort to be a good command\-line program,
+and thus should be callable from any programming language.
+If you encounter any problems parsing its output, feel free to create a
+report (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/new).
+.PP
+From a Python program, you can embed youtube\-dl in a more powerful
+fashion, like this:
+.IP
+.nf
+\f[C]
+import\ youtube_dl
+
+ydl_opts\ =\ {}
+with\ youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts)\ as\ ydl:
+\ \ \ \ ydl.download([\[aq]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaW_jenozKc\[aq]])
+\f[]
+.fi
+.PP
+Most likely, you\[aq]ll want to use various options.
+For a list of what can be done, have a look at
+youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py#L69).
+For a start, if you want to intercept youtube\-dl\[aq]s output, set a
+\f[C]logger\f[] object.
