Is there a reason not to put this with the other imports?

Are there docs where they list the elements they return? I don't know why some of these fields are changing.

Looks like "fulltitle" and "title" differ when title is truncated: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/b3613d36da14ab527166326707c0f911d192144d/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py#L1400

Sample output for PyCon India 2015
@willkg ,
what can I test other than YouTube playlists?
