DOM has changed kindly edit this script so some thing newbee like me also learn something.
Pl. put light on Selenium-Python 3.5 also
thanks in advance.

This is how the updated version of the Soup should look like:

in get_video_page_urls():
soup.select("article > a[href^='/pycon']")]

in get_video_data():
video_data['title'] = soup.select(".entry-title")[0].get_text().replace("\n", "").strip()
video_data['speakers'] = soup.select(".author a")[0].get_text()
video_data['youtube_url'] = soup.select(".details-content li:nth-of-type(3) a")[0].get('href')
