Comment (by catap):

 Replying to [comment:1 ryandesign]:
 > I wasn't aware that youtube-dl could be used as a module in other python
 software.

 Technically any application which is distributed via pypi can be used as
 library or module.

 > I've never been a huge fan of the select mechanism. I wonder if the
 build system would accommodate separating the python module part out into
 pyXX-youtube-dl subports while keeping the CLI part in the youtube-dl
 port.

 Agreed with it.

 Anyway, I haven't know any easy or better solution which doesn't create
 dependency conflict in long term.
