Issue: Pulling Video from Youtube

Hi,

When trying to pull videos from youtube, I receive the following error:

File "C:\Python\Sign-Language-Recognition--MediaPipe-DTW-master\yt_download.py", line 53, in
download_video(*row)

code_lines_list = find_object_from_startpoint(js, match.span()[1]).split('\n')
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'span'

Any suggestions?

The problematic version was 11.0.1 and now has already been fixed, so you just need to upgrade to the newer version, and will be working fine again:
pip install --upgrade pytube

its an issue with the newest pytube version, so use mrmechanik 's solution: pytube/pytube#1678
