Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
I am running Puppy Linux FossaPUP v9.0.3 which comes installed with python3, BUT does NOT have Youtube-dl installed, OOTB.

Using the installation instructions on the Youtube-dl webpages insuring I paid attention to the python requirements stated, I wget ... & chmod ... as advised. BUT youtube-dl does NOT run from the command line as it is NOT coded to work with python3.

I found that if I linked python3 as python, things work as expected. BUT users who are NOT knowledgible would either abandon use or will compromise the system by installing python2, aka python.

Dont know if this is a bug of FossaPUP or of youtube-dl or a webpage need.

You decide.

Thanks for any attention
