youtube_upload.py uses /usr/bin/python2 interpretor, which is not present on
ubuntu 10.04 machines.

well, there are distros who created the python2 link, other that do not. In the
latter case, just create manually the symbolic link:
$ ln -s /usr/bin/python2.x /usr/local/bin/python2

Some users might have no root access on their machines. Also, /usr/bin/python
is guaranteed to work out of the box in more cases than not. And ubuntu is
pretty widespread distro.
IMHO, it is more correct to use /usr/bin/python in your script and (if you feel
necessary) stick couple of lines to make sure interpretor's version is
appropriate.

It's my understanding that at least ArchLinux (this one for sure), Gentoo or
Fedora have this link. python3 is coming, so putting /usr/bin/python is no real
solution for the future, this will point eventually to python v3.x. Probably
the easiest solution is that someone created a PPA package for Ubuntu users.

well, they can still edit the script and change the she-bang. It's not a
deal-breaker.

For those of us who are not programmers but know our way around editing
existing code, can you provide us with some idea of where we would make the
edits to point to 'python2'? Also, to 'pycurl' as many installs on VPS are
using CentOS where it is named 'python-pycurl'.
Thank you in advance.
