How can I use url variable as url in code

Question

URL = input("Plz enter you Url")

import os

os.system("youtube-dl -f 95  -g **URL**")

I asked user for a url and I want to use the provided url on line 3

You can probably do something like os.system(f"youtube-dl -f 95 -g {URL}") — Aiden Chow

per PEP8 all imports should be at the top of the file also you seem to need to cover some Python basics — Matiiss

Use string formatting:

URL = input("Plz enter you Url")

import os

os.system(f"youtube-dl -f 95  -g {URL}")

You can use .format in python

so

URL = input("Plz enter you Url")

import os

os.system("youtube-dl -f 95  -g {}".format(URL))
