Displaying a Youtube clip in python

Question

I am new to python, and attempting to load a short clip in my python code. Is there is a way on displaying a youtube (or any other url support code) clip via python command? Something like iframe tag with src of HTML?

Thanks

Your question is tagged ipython, and IPython does allow you to embed a YouTube video in the notebook,

from IPython.display import YouTubeVideo
