This reproduces in OS X 10.9/Python 3.4 and Arch Linux/Python 3.3.

Same problem here, also using Arch Linux/Python 3.3. Installing it from git yielded (almost) the same error.

This is probably python 3 related. Try with 2.7. Will try to look at this but have little bandwidth. Probably something simple though, pull requests welcome.

You're right! Works fine after installing python2-pip on Arch Linux and installing it via pip2 install coursera-dl. Thanks.

I realize it was silly of me not to try it with Python 2, but it might be helpful to make it obvious in the README.
