pytube-Youtube function not initializing












1















I have pytube installed, i am getting an error when i run it(I am using python 3.7), the problem seems to be with the pytube itself ,i am using exact code of tutorials for this module.



import pytube

link ='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bZkp7q19f0'
yt = pytube.YouTube(link)
stream = yt.streams.first()
finished = stream.download()
print('Download is complete')


Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:automate the boring stuffyoutubetry.py", line 6, in <module>
yt = pytube.YouTube(link)
File "C:UsersdiodiAppDataLocalProgramsPythonPython37-32libsite-packagespytube__main__.py", line 88, in __init__
self.prefetch_init()

          to the list of patterns in the get_initial_function_name() function in cipher.py. The error was further discussed in this Github thread.
