If you like youtube-dl you should check out mps-youtube (https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube) which has the ability to use youtuble-dl as the backend I'm pretty sure (i prefer to use the native one personally)

It's also gpl vs youtube-dl's public domain.

I'm sure eventually I'll figure out a way to just do it in emacs. (I'm mostly joking... kinda... maybe.)

PyPI no longer tracks download counts on its own. Instead, they pipe access logs to Google BigTable, so you can BigQuery the heck out of them.
