OT yt-dlp and Python snag

[Budge]

Hi Jim,
I am not a coder so cannot help too much but am using yt-dlp on openSUSE Leap 15.4 and used it at the weekend to download a film. No problems for me here so I shall check what packages are installed and get back to you.  I am typing on a different machine at the office at present.  Will get back to you.
Alastair.
