Oh, sorry, I thought you know that youtube-dl is a python tool. (I not it since I'm using it myself). Basically you were right: tools do not need to be propagated (at least as far as I understood). But the reason this needs to be propagated is: it is not used as a tool (via some system-call or such), but the python package is imported, see . I have to admit that this is not obvious. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goebel@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
