youtube-dl @2015.11.21: build fails, depends on newer Python

[rb@…]

On OS X 10.5.8 on PowerPC G4 Mac Mini, port install youtube-dl fails because it is using /usr/bin/python (version 2.5.1) with a more modern syntax.

/opt/local/bin/python2.7 exists, but not /opt/local/bin/python.

Darwin chicken 9.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 9.8.0: Wed Jul 15 16:57:01 PDT 2009; root:xnu-1228.15.4~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh

I tried "port clean youtube-dl", and also "port select python27" but the latter produced an error:

chicken$ sudo port select python27
Warning: Unable to get active selected version: The specified group 'python27' does not exist.
Error: The 'list' command failed: The specified group 'python27' does not exist.

Arg, pressed submit too soon. The title should mention that it is "youtube-dl @2015.11.21". Thanks.

Replying to rb@…:

I tried "port clean youtube-dl", and also "port select python27" but the latter produced an error:

chicken$ sudo port select python27
Warning: Unable to get active selected version: The specified group 'python27' does not exist.
Error: The 'list' command failed: The specified group 'python27' does not exist.

The correct syntax would be:

sudo port select --set python python27

However you are correct that it is a bug that the port does not build without that, and I will fix it.
