This approach may lead you and others to effective DASH support within plugins until something is provided by Kodi.
youtube-dl isn't pure python. It uses ffmpeg for muxing via console/shell (it creates the commands for the tool) or rtmpdump for downloading. This won't work sorry - closed source in this addon will me not allow to push it to the repo.
Also keep in mind that the bitrate is quite (too) low for 1080p via YouTube and a difference to 720p is nearly not noticeable. Resolutions like 4k and/or 60fps...that something you will notice.
