I was not even going to look at this because I do not know python per 
say. I do bash though. However, I could not keep my mind off it. So, I 
looked over the script for youtube (youtube.pl) and ran it with:

./youtube.py -S linux

I got this back:

! Error: The URL 
(http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos?vq=linux&max-results=10&start-index=1&orderby=relevance&Ir=) 
cause the exception error (syntax error: line 1, column 0)

My first thought is that perhaps it should be https instead of http for 
the address ?
