CentOS - May 2019 - youtube-dl No module named 'pkg_resources'

youtube-dl doesn't work for me after a recent update.
I do not use it often, so do not know whether the update matters.
It gives the error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 6, in <module>
     from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pkg_resources'

I've tried reinstalling python-setuptools,
installing python34-setuptools and reinstalling youtube-dl .

I'm aware there is a bugzilla on it.
That and stackoverflow are where I got the ideas above.

How do I make youtube-dl work on Centos 7?

How did you install it?

I'm using their binary and it works great, just tested it.

If you are using the EPEL one, you can resolve it by installing:

(1) python36-setuptools from epel
and
(2) youtube-dl from epel-testing
