Any updates on this as software I maintain (mps-youtube) uses python3
version of mps-youtube for external backend (which currently doesn't use
so it falls back to internal backend which is a bit buggy atm).

Package: youtube-dl
Followup-For: Bug #723990

Hello Rogério,

I have worked on a solution to this, which unfortunately splits the
package up into youtube-dl, python3-youtube-dl and python-youtube-dl.
You mentioned that you'd rather not split the package up, but I think
it's the right way to go.

It's available for you to check at
https://github.com/e7appew/youtube-dl/tree/debian/nmu-1.

Let me know what you think.

Cheers,

Carlos

There is an easy solution: to make it only a python 3 package, since the
Debian Python Policy[1] says[2]: "Packages in Debian should use Python 3
if Python 3 is supported." And also in the same page: "Programs should
use Python 3, and should not be packaged for Python 2 as well."

I think that youtube-dl supports python 3.2+ (or at least that says the
homepage). If it works with python 3, it's the perfect excuse to make
the transition now rather than wait until year 2020, and you don't need
to worry about maintaining duplicated packages or anything hackish.

I like your proposal, but I would still like to support Python 2 programs,
if possible---I have one program that helps with downloads from edX.org and
sites based on its code that still support Python 2 or Python 3.

Anyway, I think that changing the dependency to Python 3 is probably the way
to go.  Oh, thanks for the links to the Python Policy. I will have to study
it a bit closer to bring the package more up-to-date with the
best-practices.


Thanks,

Yes, my ignorance. :)

 If not, is it possible to update the package requirement list ?

The problem is that I don't know how to make it work with both Python 2 or
Python 3, while still satisfying the following two points:

* Without creating extra binary packages (and having to go through the NEW
  queue of the ftp-masters).

* Without making any use of any hackish, non-readable tricks.  Note that the
  package currently has modules that should be usable for any version of
  Python that we propose to support.

I would love some help with this.

Bug#723990: youtube-dl: python3+ requirement

[Alexandre Bruyelles]

Package: youtube-dl
Version: 2013.08.29-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

youtube-dl requires python 2.7
As far as I've tested, and as it is written in the official youtube-dl website, 
youtube-dl seems to work well with python3.3

Is there a reason to do NOT allow python3 as a require ?
If not, is it possible to update the package requirement list ?

Thanks!
