When I use python youtube-dl.py -o %(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s --playlist-end=3 -t -c -a

I always get syntax errors, what am I doing wrong?

In POSIX-compatible shells, braces induce a subshell. You can simply quote the offending string, like this:

python youtube-dl.py -o "%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s" --playlist-end=3 -t -c -a
