Download Pluzz videos with Python

I have written this script just “for fun”. The main prerequesite is to install the command-line program : youtube-dl. To do this, simply this the following command :
pip install youtube-dl

Youtube-dl is used to download the videos. My script just offers a command-line menu to browse the available videos in the pluzz tv service.
