when installing through setup.py i get No module named twodict and cant able to install twodic for python2 in ubuntu 20.04

youtube-dl-gui is written in python2 so, at a guess, I would say that installing via pip3 (python3) isn't going to work.

Try pip install youtube-dlg perhaps.

axcore avatar May 21 '20 11:05 axcore

It's not that easy, @axcore . You'd need pip first. And while pip3 is available in the repos, pip is not. For this, I had to follow the instructions posted here.

And even then it doesn't work.

So I installed TwoDict using pip too (it vanished from the ubuntu repos - alongside pip). Horray! ... a new error message

And no, I can't install msgfmt with pip.

Maybe it's time to move away from Python2? Maybe even away from Python itself? Just an idea ...

// Edit: @axcore provided a link in #444 https://github.com/axcore/tartube is IMHO a better choice.

you can download the .deb and install it, and you might ran into some issues regarding paython-twodict to avoid it you need to install it too, following are the deb files i used.

ajithrn avatar May 26 '20 07:05 ajithrn

@ajithrn tbh: The devs should drop Python 2. Period. Python 2 reached End Of Life (EOL) And I don't care what it is, once it reached EOL, it has to be upgraded or one has to pay for further support. That applies at least to the professional world. Windows 7? People loved it. But it reached EOL and had to be replaced. Is everyone happy with it? No, of course not. Will everyone switch to Windows 10? No, of course not. But they have nobody to blame, if someone uses an exploit for Win7 and harms their IT.

Look at other active maintained Open Source Projects like WordPress. I quote from their website:

We recommend servers running version 7.3 or greater of PHP and MySQL version 5.6 OR MariaDB version 10.1 or greater.

Meaning PHP 7.2 or even below that is no longer supported (or at least not recommended). And according to the (Supported Versions of PHP](https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php) PHP 7.2 is still maintained - even if only for security fixes.

I checked Drupal as well. They too recommend PHP 7.3+ and anything below is not recommended or simply doesn't work anymore.

I happen to work in the IT and we have customers with an old version of WordPress with an even older version of PHP (5.6 i.e.). They have to pay their hoster for this.

And I'm pretty sure, most other Python 2 projects moved on as well. BTW: If you looked at #444 you'll notice that this very project is not maintained anymore. So move on and simply ditch it.

I don't have the time, money nor the required patience to deal with dead projects. I'd rather stick to https://github.com/axcore/tartube and be done with it. It looks better in any way, it uses Python 3, manages your Downloads and if you don't want it to do that, you can still use the old style since even this is implemented.

So ... why should I fight with an inferior project?

christopher-kleine avatar May 26 '20 10:05 christopher-kleine

@anihex yes i agree, and its seems like the projects is abandoned , i just wanted to say its possible to install and use the app, the other one you mentioned its cluttered and way too many options for my likings.

ajithrn avatar May 26 '20 13:05 ajithrn

@ajithrn I installed the two deb packages, and while it appears YouTube DL GUI is installed, I cannot open the program.

Did they abandon youtube-dl-gui ? I can't get it installed on Ubuntu 20.04
