You need to move away from config.py and use python-build, python-installer, python-wheel:

/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/setuptools/_distutils/cmd.py:66: SetuptoolsDeprecationWarning: setup.py install is deprecated.
!!

        ********************************************************************************
        Please avoid running ``setup.py`` directly.
        Instead, use pypa/build, pypa/installer or other
        standards-based tools.

        See https://blog.ganssle.io/articles/2021/10/setup-py-deprecated.html for details.
        ********************************************************************************

Regards & thanks for maintaining!

@FichteFoll For reference, the project moved to the mps-youtube organization a while ago. GitHub places a redirect when a repository is moved to an organization, but np1 deleted the repos (from the organization) after GitHub's acquisition. They've since been restored, but I guess that broke the redirect.

This doesn't change your point that the url should be changed here, but I thought I might as well clarify that the new url is "official" and that the organization was set up by the original author.

The author pulled all their repositories from Github after Microsoft aquired it.

https://github.com/np1/pafy is a 404 and the only repo on that account is https://github.com/np1/Fuck-Microsoft.

A replacement is available on the mps-youtube org at https://github.com/mps-youtube/pafy, found via their IRC channel.

EDIT: Odd I was using the youtube-dl from the main repo but even just trying to use youtube-dl itself I got pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: The 'youtube-dl==2017.3.2' distribution was not found and is required by the application Manullay installed with pip and it seems to be working fine. ---- Is upstream broken? :: Building python-pafy-git package(s)... ==> Making package: python-pafy-git 0.5.3.1.r1.g726c1a7-1 (Sun Mar 5 20:45:25 EST 2017) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> WARNING: Using existing $srcdir/ tree ==> Starting pkgver()... ==> Entering fakeroot environment... ==> Starting package()...
