I see at several options:

 * install `youtoube_dl` where Python looks for it
   (you can print `sys.path` to find out all the places
   normally checked for importable modules)

 * put a (symbolic) link to `youtoube_dl` at a place
   where Python looks for modules

 * use Pythons' `.pth' feature to tell Python additional
   places where to look for modules.
   You can place `.pth` files where Python looks for modules
   to be imported
