Error when downloading latest version

[ajspencer]

I downloaded the latest version using the commands

sudo curl https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2015.07.18/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl


And received the following error when trying to turn commands, including youtube-dl -v

This is already fixed and will be available in the next version.
You can also fix this by updating python to 2.7.4 or later. Or you can use previous version https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2015.07.07/youtube-dl.
