Tested on Linux (raspberry pi) and OSX with same results.

Previous version (2015.07.07) works fine.

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.
