This should work, I only added two comments to this short script cause I guess it’s pretty much self-explanatory.

import shutil

# Parse playlist for filenames with ending .ts and put them into the list ts_filenames
with open('playlist.m3u8', 'r') as playlist:
    ts_filenames = [line.rstrip() for line in playlist
                    if line.rstrip().endswith('.ts')]

# open one ts_file from the list after another and append them to merged.ts
with open('merged.ts', 'wb') as merged:
    for ts_file in ts_filenames:
        with open(ts_file, 'rb') as mergefile:
            shutil.copyfileobj(mergefile, merged)
