linux ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ctypes

[root@ONEVPS190105040754 ~]# youtube-dl -V

Error: Nothing to do

I was going to use youtube-dl, but told me "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_ctypes'". I found some methods on the Internet, such as "yum install libffi-dev", but they still didn't work

This solved the same error for me on CentOS7:

yum install libffi-devel

From this post :

It's a problem with your Python installation: it seems to be missing the _ctypes.so library. In this Debian system, it's /usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload/_ctypes.so. If you do have a lib-dynload directory, append it to the \$PYTHONPATH environment variable and see if it helps. (To test, open the interactive shell and try import _ctypes. To see the current path, use import sys and sys.path.)

Consider using the packaged version of Python if your operating system offers one.

(As a last resort, you can comment out the import ctypes line; it is only used with the --console-title option on Win32.)

Try above, see if it solve your problem.
