Arch Linux User Repository

You need to install:

python-oauth2client

Seconding @BurhanDanger: lack of python-oauth2client results in runtime failures:

[cody@franklin vhs]$ youtube-upload -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/bin/youtube-upload", line 9, in <module>
    from youtube_upload import main    
  File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/youtube_upload/main.py", line 26, in <module>
    import oauth2client
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'oauth2client'

FYI anyone having trouble with an error about a missing "~/.client_secrets.json" file, please see the instructions on the developer's github page readme file about setting things up.

Apparently things have changed recently in regards to Google and security, so I had to do some manual steps. I can now upload videos again after setting up my own oath credentials.

This needs python-oauth2client as dependency to work properly.

Gives an error:

Hey, SanskritFritz, youtube-upload no longer needs Python: Ancien Règime Edition (and you can simplify your pkgver() (-: ). Here's a PKGBUILD: https://ptpb.pw/r4Lp

Ah that could explain the error I posted on github.

Thanks! Note that the dependencies for the new version are python2-google-api-python-client and python2-progressbar.
