Recently did a refresh of ubuntu 24.04

With no code changes am now getting a *ModuleNotFoundError *for 
youtube_dl

Relevant code is

import sys
sys.path.append("/home/tim/.local/share/pipx/venvs/youtube-dl/lib/python3.12/site-packages/youtube_dl")

import youtube_dl '

Navigating to 
/home/tim/.local/share/pipx/venvs/youtube-dl/lib/python3.12/site-packages/youtube_dl,

I see the following

tim@beelink:~/.local/share/pipx/venvs/youtube-dl/lib/python3.12/site-packages/youtube_dl$
 ls
aes.py    compat.py   extractor    jsinterp.py  options.py 
__pycache__  swfinterp.py  utils.py    YoutubeDL.py
cache.py  downloader  __init__.py  __main__.py  postprocessor 
socks.py     update.py     version.

I should not have appended 'youtube_dl' to the path. I used the content 
from 
/home/tim/.local/share/pipx/shared/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pipx_shared.pth

("/home/tim/.local/share/pipx/shared/lib/python3.12/site-packages") and 
added that to /usr/lib/python3.12/sitecustomize.py as appended to sys.path

and it appears to be solved.

FWIW I think youtube_dl has largely been supplanted by the (maintained) 
'yt-dlp' these days
