I'm trying to install Youtube-DL-GUI on my Mac.
I've downloaded all the required programs in their latest version: Python 2.7.10 WxPython 3.8.5 TwoDict 1.2 GetText 0.21 Youtube-DL 2020.09.06

When using Terminal to install, I keep getting errors in the Python files. The first one was a print error which was easy to fix, I just added parentheses around the word 'error'. Now I'm getting a message that says "NameError: name 'unicode' is not defined"

I tried changing 'unicode' to STR which worked for that particular error, but then it keeps referencing other times the word 'unicode' appears and gives the same error "NameError: name 'unicode' is not defined". Does this mean I have to replace them all with STR? I don't want to mess up the file any further if I'm not doing this correctly.

Thanks for any help you could provide.

Support for Python 2 is being phased out generally. You may have Python 2.7.10 installed on your Mac, but that doesn't mean that the other modules can use it.

You could try this fork, which uses Python 3 throughout and works on Macs.

Thank you I'm going to keep trying to fix this but if it doesn't work out I will give that GUI a try.
