Hi, I am the main developer of the PyTube project. PyTube currently has many features such as the following:

* Easy GUI
* Multimedia file conversion ( OGM, OGG, OGV, MP3, MPEG, AMV, GIF, MP4, WAV, AVI, 3GP, FLV)
* Integrated search for YouTube Videos
* Ability to download flagged videos from YouTube using a registered account
* Ability to transfer videos currently being played using Flash towards your desktop ( Linux only )
* Ability to download an unlimited quanitity of videos from YouTube, MyspaceTV, Google Video and Metacafe
* Preconfigured devices support for fast video compability on your device ( Apple iPods, Sony PSP, Flip Mino, Others to come )
* Editing tools such as video rotation, video scaling, inserting a custom audio file into a video file, video merging, cellphone ringtone generator.
* Retrieve profile information and contacts from YouTube members
* Share your favorite videos by exporting a list of video links, or import a list from another user with a few clicks
* Crossplatform Code

The link to the project is posted on the comment made by Eldmannen ( http://www.bashterritory.com/pytube ).
It seems like there are concerns due to legal situations the program might provoke. The program is designed to allow users download content from various video sharing sites, it is not mentioned anywhere that the program promotes the ilegal downloads of certain videos found on these sites. If there are steps to be taken before considering including this package in the Multiverse repository then I will be glad to follow them, this way any Ubuntu user can enjoy the application. As shown on the features list, this program does not fully concentrate on downloading content, it also allows you to do very simple editing of videos such as rotation and stretching, meaning this application has many uses.
