./youtube-dl-new.py -t -M2azyYpCDI
Usage: youtube-dl-new.py [options] url...

but with full URL it works fine. May be add the ability to enclose ID in quotes and always treat args in quotes as video ID?

As any classic Unix command, you can use "--" to separate options from arguments.

$ youtube-dl -t -- -M2azyYpCDI
