From b4622a328b8a456dd64ef1e9bc5d388e00cb59a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philipp Hagemeister Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2014 00:05:09 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Use double quotes in error message (#2112) On Windows, double quotes are required, because single quotes get served to youtube-dl. (Yes, cmd.exe is crazy like that). On other system, both double and single quotes are fine, unless the string contains a dollar sign (then you need single quotes). Since virtually no URLs contain dollar signs, double quotes should do. --- youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py b/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py index 9424d5e266..8361dda7a4 100644 --- a/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py +++ b/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py @@ -1759,6 +1759,6 @@ def _real_extract(self, url): u'Did you forget to quote the URL?
