Hi there,
I just installed youtube-dl.py and tried to download a youtube video and for some reason it doesn't work.

$ youtube-dl.py "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs9Ly5ldR9A"
[youtube] Setting language

I tried to see by youtube-dl.py if there was some verbose kinda flag but was not able to find.

$ youtube-dl.py --version
2011.03.29

$ python --version
Python 2.6.6

Any help would be appreciable.
