Howdy,
This concept sounds like a great idea to share in #994151 as they try to
decide what to do with the youtube-dl package. Given some[0] responses[1]
on youtube-dl's bug tracker, I don't imagine picking up new versions will
be an option any time soon.

I fleshed out the proposal a bit more. The simplest possibillity is to make
symlinks, of both
the executable and module, to pretend they are youtube-dl and the module
youyube_dl. This way,
also python programs that load the module could work.
A little bit better is this little wraper. you link the exec and module to it.
------------------
#!/usr/bin/python3
import sys
from yt_dlp import *
if __name__ == "__main__":
args=sys.argv.copy()
args.pop(0)
args=['--compat-options','youtube-dl']+args
main(args)
--------------------
The compat options should improve the compatibility. Also, by using the cli
options, it would
risk less of breaking over time and keeping a fix stupid proof. Maybe a final
improvement,
would be to initialise the appropriate variable for the compatibility options,
so that they
are active in the module also. This would have a higher risk of breaking.
I tested this with pafy(has an unrelated bug) and mpv on stable.
This should stay relevent, for a whille.
