Configuring youtube-dl to use Python 3.4 instead of 2.7
See original GitHub issueI have both Python 3.4 and Python 2.7 installed (both are the 64-bit versions on Windows 7). I’ve already set the PY_PYTHON environment variable to 3 (i.e. py.exe should run Python 3 by default, unless specified to run Python 2).py.exe --version gives an output of Python 3.4.3.
However, when I run youtube-dl, I get a [debug] Python version 2.7.8 - Windows-7-6.1.7601-SP1 message. The reason I would like to use Python 3 is to get around the bug where output filenames have non-ASCII, Unicode characters stripped, which happens in Python 2.
