Ultra-dense Python code generation rules to save output tokens	*.py

Python Token Optimization

• Use Syntactic Sugar: Prioritize list comprehensions, dict comprehensions, and ternary operators (x if condition else y) to keep code on a single line.
• Built-in Libraries First: Use standard libraries (pathlib, json, subprocess, asyncio) instead of introducing heavy external dependencies unless already in requirements.txt.
• Type Hinting: Do NOT add type hints (def func(x: int) -> str:) unless the existing file strictly uses them. Type hints consume significant tokens.
• No Format Duplication: When modifying scripts (like video downloaders), provide only the modified function or class method. Never output the if __name__ == "__main__": block or argument parsing logic if they haven't changed.
• No Docstrings: Strictly forbid writing """docstrings""" or # comments explaining the logic.
• Preserve yt-dlp Options: Never rewrite, duplicate, or expand the ydl_opts configuration dictionary or custom extraction options. If changes are unrelated to download options, use a placeholder comment like # ... existing ydl_opts ... instead of outputting the full dictionary block.
