You don't need to build anything for that. Run from sources. |

OK - Thanks. How do I run it from sources? (python3 _ _ main _ _.py) ? |

Question
I have Python 3.8.2 installed on my Windows 10 machine and I'm able to checkout the latest youtube-dl code from Git, but how do I run it? Can I run main.py or is there a better way?
I know that Python code is typically interpreted (and not compiled) but there seems to some kind of build process used for youtube-dl? How can I build the latest Git version for Windows?
EDIT: More specifically, I'm trying to test a pull request that might fix the TruTV problems (#24466).
