When will caption support be added to the YouTube Data API V3? In the meantime, what option do I have to download it (python) for an arbitrary public video (not one I own)?

Caption support was added to YouTube API v3, according to this document.

Suggested way to get all captions of a video is to use a HTTP request:

GET video.google.com/timedtext?lang={LANG}&v={VIDEOID}

For example:

http://video.google.com/timedtext?lang=en&v=sOEAD-gfJ_M

No need to login.
