Thanks for the script! We still haven't seen a youtube-dl release and
it's pretty clear the way that things are headed, so I've gone ahead and
prepared the package for becoming replaced by yt-dlp:

Andreas & others, any thoughts/comments on this before I upload?
Thanks,
Andres
not sure what you did. To avoid confusion. Use the wrapper as the
executable, not as the module. It doesn't work very well as a module.
"import *" in python doesn't actually import everything...
for the module directly link to yt-dlp
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/youtube_dl
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/yt_dlp
