It requires the Python interpreter, +version 2.x (x being at least 5), and it is not platform specific. It +should work in your Unix box, in Windows or in Mac OS X. It is +released to the PUBLIC DOMAIN, which means you can modify it, +redistribute it or use it however you like. The project is currently +being developed at github.com. + +I will try to keep it updated if YouTube.com changes the way you +access their videos. After all, it is a simple and short +program. However, I can not guarantee anything. If you detect it stops +working, check for new versions and/or inform me about the problem, +indicating the program version you are using. My contact information +is at rg03.wordpress.com. If the program stops working and I can not +solve the problem but you have a solution, I would like to know +it. Furthermore, if you think you can maintain the program yourself, +tell me. + +Thanks for all the feedback received so far. I am glad people find my +program useful. + +AUTHORS: +* Ricardo Garcia Gonzalez: program core, YouTube.com InfoExtractor, +metacafe.com InfoExtractor and YouTube playlist InfoExtractor. +* Danny Colligan: YouTube search InfoExtractor, ideas and patches. +* Benjamin Johnson: Google Video InfoExtractor, Photobucket +InfoExtractor, Yahoo!
