append 3 on the script name

[ramonmoraes8080]

I don't know but i'm the only one here which wants to user youtube-dl on a machine with 2 python versions: 2 and 3?
So as pip i think it's a good idea to generate a script with a "-3" at the end to indicate we are accessing the bin folder of python 3.
I really don't know if it's trivial or easy, but if not just disregard the request. Thanks for the great app/tool

Sorry, I don't understand what you do. Do you want to generate a file youtube-dl-3 to indicate something? And why? Can you describe the context?

Note that youtube-dl does work fine under both Python 2.x and 3.x (for sane values of x).
If you do follow our manual installation instructions, you can execute the youtube-dl binary (it's really a zip file) both with python2 and python3.

If you do use pip then it should work fine with both versions as well:

$ sudo pip3 -q install youtube-dl
$ sudo pip2 -q install youtube-dl
$ youtube-dl -v

I think that he wants to do something similar to ipython (pip also does that, maybe there are others), it installs both the ipython executable and ipython2 or ipython3 depending on the python version.

That being said, I don't really know what's the goal of installing youtube-dl with two versions of python, in the case of ipython it allows you to run it with the python version you need (you can use it as a replacement for the REPL python console) and for pip it allows to install packages for each version.
