Every time i run any command or just type youtube-dl i get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\python27\lib\runpy.py", line 174, in _run_module_as_m "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name) File "c:\python27\lib\runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code exec code in run_globals File "C:\Python27\Scripts\youtube-dl.exe\__main__.py", line 9, File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\youtube_dl\__init__.py", l _real_main(argv) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\youtube_dl\__init__.py", l setproctitle('youtube-dl') File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\youtube_dl\utils.py", line libc = ctypes.cdll.LoadLibrary('libc.so.6') File "c:\python27\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 440, in LoadLi return self._dlltype(name) File "c:\python27\lib\ctypes\__init__.py", line 362, in __init self._handle = _dlopen(self._name, mode) TypeError: LoadLibrary() argument 1 must be string, not unicode

Neither you nor we (youtube-dl maintainers) made the mistake. Instead, Python should be blamed: http://bugs.python.org/issue29082.

Conclusion: Python 2.7.13 is broken. Downgrade to 2.7.12 or use 3.x

How can i install youtube-dl on python 3 i have both on pc? @yan12125

Python 2 and Python 3 can co-exist. Just install it like how you've installed Python 2.
