Description

Since the last update I get a python error with dailymotion fetcher.

Hi @remitamine ,
From which issue is this the duplicate ? I can't find it. Thanks

[remitamine]

Duplicate of #20673, it's the same problem.

It's more about severity than duplication - previously working extractor is now completely broken under python 2.

#20673 closed as the problem no longer applies to twitter extractor, however, the problem still affects all extractors calling _get_cookies method.
