found the same issue, python 2.6

Could you please post wich version of python2.6 are you using?, you can run python --version or youtube-dl --verbose.

2.6.2 here

it works on 2.6.2 with:

The problem was probably introduced in 13ebea791fb4293acf939730ad5a9c07e553005f. @phihag it uses a non-documented property, which (after a quick search) was added to python 2.6 in http://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/0f57b30a152f, the first release that included it seems to be 2.6.3. We should either check if the property is present (I haven't look carefully at the code) or bump the minimum supported version of python 2.6. What do you think?

[Sepulep]

any update on this issue? I would be grateful if you could maintain compatibility for 2.6.2, cause I am using youtube-dl for a youtube app on the openpandora handheld - http://repo.openpandora.org/?page=detail&app=thetube (the firmware has 2.6.2, meaning I can keep the app very lean at 500kb)

I only use youtube and it continues to work with 2013.11.21.

lopen libpython2.6.so ython 2.6.2 (r262:71600, Mar 20 2011, 16:54:21) GCC 4.4.3] on linux-armv6l ype "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Fixed in version 2013.12.09 and newer. You may have to reinstall these though, or update from an older version that works.
