Hi, there is an error with the latest version of youtube-dl. It is interpreting the input date-range as a date to be compared to. This is the output I get with the current version FOR THE ABOVE CODE.

durai@durai-vm:~/shared_synapse$ python 2date_range_test.py

BUT if you supply date as '20150731' i.e. the exact upload date then it works -
