youtube-dl incompatible with python 3

[Raven24]

I am using Arch Linux, and they recently upgraded the default python binary to python 3. The old version is still available under the name python2...
Please make the script compatible with python 3, to avoid future issues with linux distributions upgrading their packages.

Thanks for this great script!

The script cannot be made "compatible" with Python 3. It's either Python 2 or Python 3. Python 2 is the canonical version as of today. I have zero plans to port the program to Python 3 for now. I'll port it when it becomes the natural path, so this is a "won't fix" in the short and medium run.

Ok, I understand.
For now I guess that's sufficient :-)
