Problem with vimeo's parser using import from python, however works fine with the executable

[iTaybb]

I try to run this python script:

import youtube_dl

ydl = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({'outtmpl': '%(id)s%(ext)s', 'verbose': True})
ydl.add_default_info_extractors()

result = ydl.extract_info('http://vimeo.com/69070555', download=False)

and get youtube_dl.utils.DownloadError: Unable to extract info section. Downloading the video through the executable of the same build seems to work fine.

Kind of looked into it, and found that the data retrieved from vimeo's server is gzipped, but not decompressed. Running

del youtube_dl.utils.std_headers['Accept-Encoding']

seems to solve the problem.

Where did I go wrong? Is that a bug?
Thanks.

I faced that same problem and you just need to install the YoutubeDLHandler (found in youtube_dl.utils), it will decompress the gzipped response. You can use the function youtube_dl._setup_opener for that.
