Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I have youtube-dl installed using homebrew. I would like to also access youtube-dl from python so I want the python package as well. I can install the python package with pip. However, pip install youtube_dl and brew install youtube-dl both install an executable at /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl.

I really like the convenience of keeping everything up-to-date with brew upgrade and would rather not have to deal with two separate package managers. I request that brew install youtube-dl install both the executable and the python source to be imported from python via import youtube_dl.

Address this to homebrew.

@dstftw Are you saying that the Homebrew package is not managed by the developers of this project?

[dstftw]

Exactly.

@dstftw Oh. Well, thanks for the super fast response
