Having issue with module yt-dlp

[Sathish84489377]

I've been downloading vidoes form Pinterest user,it showing error "module cannot import "yt-dlp"

then try install module using pip command

and then retry the command still its showing the same error.

What's the output of pip freeze?
It looks like gallery-dl and yt-dlp are not installed in the same Python environment.

Or are you using a gallery-dl executable from the Releases page?

And even if gallery-dl could use yt-dlp, downloading videos from pinterest currently fails with "[downloader.ytdl][error] ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden" due to forcing the native m3u8 downloader:

gallery-dl/gallery_dl/extractor/pinterest.py

Line 57 in 6f1d5e8

pin["_ytdl_extra"] = {"protocol": "m3u8_native"}

Those can't use yt-dlp. They only have youtube-dl embedded and are unable to use any "external" modules.

Since you already have a Python interpreter with pip installed, you can just install and run gallery-dl with that (pip install gallery-dl), or you get an executable from https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/actions/workflows/executables.yml which do come with yt-dlp.
