Running sudo python setup.py install directly or pip install <yotube-dl github repo.zip> raises an error:

can't copy 'youtube-dl.bash-completion': doesn't exist or not a regular file.

Looking around setup.py (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/setup.py#L43) seems that the file does not exist actually.
Python version: 2.7.3

Have you try downloading from: http://youtube-dl.org the youtube-dl-{the_version}.tar.gz? It includes the youtube-dl.bash-completion script and the man pages. It should also work by doing pip install youtube_dl.
They are not in the git repo because they are generated with the makefile.

If you want to install from the source, you have to make before, as @jaimeMF noted.
Happy downloading!
