I have installed:

C:/Python27
C:/Python36

I see that youtube-dl is used:

[debug] Python version 3.4.4 - Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1

I see that some users have:

[debug] Python version 2.7.13 - Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1

My question is what I need to do to replace Python 3.4.4 with Python 2.7.13 in my Windows?

Is there a way for youtube-dl to use my C:/Python27 installation?

Many thanks in advance

youtube-dl.exe does not use any installed python. To use custom python version you have to build youtube-dl.exe yourself. With 2.7 branch you'll have some won't fix unicode bugs though.

To use custom python version you have to build youtube-dl.exe yourself.

Or use the youtube-dl binary package, like this, for example: C:\Python27\python.exe \path\to\youtube-dl
Or install via pip.
