Latest update breaks on 10.6.8

[pps]

I just updated to the latest version of youtube-dl, and it stopped working. Replaced it with an older version, it worked again, updated it, it stopped again.

$ yt NzuuU9PU9-c -F

For what it's worth, I also checked whether /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/runpy.py was changed on my machine since a backup where everything worked fine, and this was not the case.

Thanks for any help.

Update python to fix this currently.
