Python27 using youtube-dl.exe in Win7 #3065
Comments
This error is really weird, but not for the reason you think it is. There are three ways to run youtube-dl:
You've picked the third option, so your version of youtube-dl should work on any system. However, it fails to load initially, and that's the weird part. I would very much like to reproduce this problem. Can you try moving youtube-dl to the current directory and re-running it? If the error persists with youtube-dl in the current directory, can you give me the following information?

Thank you very much for your prompt answer phihag! |
Marvellous! You can put youtube-dl into, say, |
I am still getting similar error. I just downloaded the software today. I added the environment variable as phihag suggested but I am still getting the following error. File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\py2exe\boot_common.py", line 92, in |
make sure you don't have a copy in your system32 directory. |
I am facing similar error as well. |
I have had the same problem due to running it from a different directory, it worked after I cd'd into the same folder. Hopefully that helps someone if they're running it from a subdirectory like I was. |
@MoffD Such a problem occurs if you put youtube-dl.exe in \Windows\System32. |
@yan12125 Interesting, however I was running it from my downloads folder with "..\youtube-dl.exe url_here" so it's not just isolated to the (DRIVE)\Windows\System32 path |
Please post the full path and the output of |
I'm running youtube-dl.exe in my \windows\system32 directory from my home folder\downloads. I'm using Python 3.4.1. When I run something like "youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoXY7LSy_ZY" it comes back with:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\py2exe\boot_common.py", line 92, in
ImportError: No module named linecache

ImportError: No module named youtube_dl
Why is it defaulting to Python27? Where can I specify that I'm not using Python 2.7? The directory listed in the message doesn't exist, my Python directory is C:\Python34.
I ran searches for support and I have found nothing even similar to this.
I believe I am doing something so stupid that nobody else has even thought of doing and that's probably why it's happening, but I'm a newbie and I haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong yet.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
