When starting mpsyt.exe from cmd, mps-youtube does not start:

Python27

Please consider using pip3 or similar. I don't think Python 2 is supported.

[GijsTimmers]

@lol768 That fixed it! Thank you.

For those after me:

sudo pip uninstall mps-youtube
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install mps-youtube

Windows:

1. pip.exe uninstall mps-youtube
2. download Python 3 from the official website, make sure to add Python 3 to the PATH during installation
3. pip3.exe install mps-youtube

Ubuntu:

sudo pip uninstall mps-youtube
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
sudo pip3 install mps-youtube

@GijsTimmers question - how on earth didja get apt-get and sudo onto windows? :)

For others (part 2):

1. Cygwin && install python3 and wget (./setup-x86_64.exe). You can have python2.7 installed side by side (I did - check which is default with python -v, but also run python3 to verify it is installed and in path)
2. Grab get-pip.py ( wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py)
3. pip3 list (ensure using python3 version of request is there as per above thread)
4. pip3 install colorama && pip3 install mps-youtube
5. mpsyt - you're good to go.

Heh. Turned out I had the problem on both Windows and Ubuntu, which makes sense. Edited.
