First, since 2 months ago approximately with Mac OS 10.6, I try to use youtube-dl with Python 3.4 ;

tmp root# PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/Developer/usr/bin/
but youtube-dl continue to use my old Python 2.6

Second, since 2 months ago approximately I have compiled libav 11.4.
Until this day youtube-dl was working.

Third, youtube-dl is up to date ;
tmp root# youtube-dl --version2015.09.03

Since the update of today, youtube-dl does not work and I read this error ;

I already updated Python to Python 3.4, but youtube-dl still use the old 2.6 ;
I use this path ;
root# PATH=/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/Developer/usr/bin/
but youtube-dl continue to use my old Python 2.6 as youtube-dl verbose says. Read again carefully my first post.

As you can see you did not update it. Recheck PATH contains the path to the new python before the path to the old python.

Python 3.4 is first, but python --version and youtube-dl still use 2.6.1, I did not understand !

If you are installing the official Python from https://www.python.org/, there's no 'python' in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/. You need to create one by hand. For example:

cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/
ln -s python3 python

To avoid breaking my OS, I have read the documentation for Mac, here an extract ;

4.1. Getting and Installing MacPython
Mac OS X 10.8 comes with Python 2.7 pre-installed by Apple. If you wish, you are invited to install the most recent version of Python 3 from the Python website (https://www.python.org). A current “universal binary” build of Python, which runs natively on the Mac’s new Intel and legacy PPC CPU’s, is available there.

What you get after installing is a number of things:

A MacPython 3.4 folder in your Applications folder. In here you find IDLE, the development environment that is a standard part of official Python distributions; PythonLauncher, which handles double-clicking Python scripts from the Finder; and the “Build Applet” tool, which allows you to package Python scripts as standalone applications on your system.
A framework /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework, which includes the Python executable and libraries. The installer adds this location to your shell path. To uninstall MacPython, you can simply remove these three things. A symlink to the Python executable is placed in /usr/local/bin/.
The Apple-provided build of Python is installed in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework and /usr/bin/python, respectively. You should never modify or delete these, as they are Apple-controlled and are used by Apple- or third-party software. Remember that if you choose to install a newer Python version from python.org, you will have two different but functional Python installations on your computer, so it will be important that your paths and usages are consistent with what you want to do.

End of extract

So the question is ; How to link youtube-dl to a non-system Python ?

@jaimeMF jaimeMF commented Sep 4, 2015

I think that as long as you only modify in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework nothing in your system should break. If /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/ is in your path and /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin/python is executable, youtube-dl will use it. Since the issue is not with youtube-dl I'm closing the issue.

You can’t perform that action at this time.
