(--no-check-certificate had no effect)
Apparently 3.2 is no longer supported by ytdl. 3.2+ means 3.2 not included?
I wrote a snippet for checking and downloading ytdl version.
This works on 3.2 and although not needed it still works on Win 7 python 3.6.

I found snippets on SO for checking ssl version and TLS version.

ctx = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2)
handler = urllib.request.HTTPSHandler(context=ctx)
opener = urllib.request.build_opener(handler)
urllib.request.install_opener(opener)
url = YT_DL_URL
response = opener.open(url)

Python prior to 3.4 does not support TLS 1.2 that is now required by GitHub. Thus updating won't work on python <3.4.
