fossapup64 9.5
python --version
Python 3.8.2
yt-dlp --version
2024.10.22
When I try to update (yt-dlp -U), I get this:
Deprecated Feature: Support for Python version 3.8 has been deprecated. Please update to Python 3.9 or above
It looks like yt-dlp requires a newer version of python in order to update itself.
I searched for python in the PPM and got nothing.
Thanks.
@Governor
Try the yt-dlp_linux binary, it has python newer version included (much bigger though).
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releas ... -dlp_linux
I'd say just rename it to yt-dlp , make executable and replace the existing yt-dlp in your system (find out where by running which yt-dlp in terminal)
edit: or to download, go here with browser: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest

Your suggestion will not remove the 'update Python' warning.
The request was to update Python
I you use yt-dlp_linux, there will be no python warning (as I said it has the appropriate python version included).
(upgrading python on Fossapup would be possible but not as easy)

Some libraries used by the application require updating which is why you are prompted to update your Python build.
Can you 'update' ? .... switch back and forth between 'release' channels? ..... or more importantly does it function on the sites you need it for? .... yt-dlp
Is the 'warning' displayed causing you sleepless nights .... panic attacks? If not, "Ignorance is bliss ........ Embracing mindfulness

You can have multiple Python installations on your OS using UV
To install UV via terminal is straightforward
pip3 install uv
On bookworm64_10.0.6 now, and it does not have pip, pip2 or pip3.
Tried installing pip3 it, but no luck.
apt install python3-pip

Confusion ! First post from @Governor mentioned FossaPup (with too low python version 3.8 for latest yt-dlp version).
(so I gave info about yt-dlp_linux to solve it and @Jasper about installing newer python version).
@Governor, did you try any of these solutions ? If your question is about FossaPup it makes no sense to switch topic suddenly to Bookworm. 
Bookworm has higher python version, so updating yt-dlp (or installing latest) should work.
Governor wrote:Why does protonvpn keep popping up?
Probably because you didn't install the public key for the protonvpn repo.. But you can remove that repo config if desired (look in /etc/apt/ for it)
But it's just a warning that you cannot use that repository, not an error that would have influence on the other repositories.

I got the "fat" version of yt-dlp which includes Python (thanks to @fredx181). The depreciated Python message is gone.
However, it still did not work on the target url, and complained about a tar-470p format:
ERROR: The extracted extension ('tar') is unusual and will be skipped for safety reasons.
I then used yt-dlp -U and verified it is the latest version.
Then, (thanks to @Jasper) I used "yt-dlp --list-formats", and "yt-dlp -f hls-1060"
and was able to download the video.
Usually, yt-dlp works unassisted. Why are the extra steps needed, and why is there an error message about a tar-470p format?
Is this an effort by the host to hinder downloads?

I just checked and ProtonVPN is still working for me, so I suppose that is just another error message I must remember to ignore. Frankly, ignoring error messages is very new to me. I really don't enjoy this extra work, but it looks like I will need to make a list of acceptable error messages on both fossapup and bookworm as I move forward. I had not foreseen that Linux was such a high maintenance OS.

Sounds straightforward, but I bet it isn't. I will keep it in mind, in case it get to the point where it seems like the only option. Thanks.

From Anonymous Conservative
"4Chan, the internet’s most infamous forum, is down following an alleged hack. The hack doxed registered users, and appears to have xposed several security flaws, so we are being told the site will now have to be down for a long time, before it can return, with the security flaws addressed and a new software architecture. My assumption is the FBI system administrators hired to run it in the basement of the DC headquarters were told to take it down, and in the process make it look like this cover story was the reason."

Assuming that you installed protonvpn from the .deb offered at the protonvpn website (not sure though).
Note that often such downloads for Linux are specially made for "mainstream" Linux distro's, so will not always work properly for Puppy.
Btw, protonvpn is not an official part of Debian, downloading packages from 'some website' (third party app) means 'you're on your own' or 'use at your own risk'.
About error messages (in your case it's a "warning" W:), you can probably fix that by deleting the protonvpn repo file from inside /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ (that does not remove the installed protonvpn).

Thanks.
I am on bookworm now, and I did manage to upgrade python here. The synaptic package installer was of no use. I fiddled with the apt command and after issuing a few different commands, I got it to upgrade. I will try with fossapup next; fossapup has no apt command, so I will see what happens.
python --version
returns
Python 3.11.2
