Description
youtube-dl is also can be used inside some application as plugin.
Right now I can't add to my beets port a plugin https://github.com/vmassuchetto/beets-ydl because it required to setup youtube-dl with the right version of python.
Right now youtube-dl uses variants to configure the python version and migrate to select group and pyXX-youtube-dl seems as logical and standard way.
Thanks!

Replying to 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.
