Hi Jack,
you need python 2.7 . I've made a module some time ago and used a pet from puppy linux named " youtube-dl-2015.09.09.pet" - I merged this module with python 2.7 module and have a standalone youtube-dl.
It works fine on porteus 2.1 32 bit. I could pass the module to you, but I don't know how, because I don't have dropbox or something like that.

P.S. Forget to mention it is a command line tool, but as far as I know there is a gui available somewhere with Puppy.
