translator.translate('olá, mundo')

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#2>", line 1, in <module>
    translator.translate('olá, mundo')
  File "C:\Users\Fernando\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\googletrans\client.py", line 182, in translate
    data = self._translate(text, dest, src, kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\Fernando\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\googletrans\client.py", line 78, in _translate
    token = self.token_acquirer.do(text)
  File "C:\Users\Fernando\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\googletrans\gtoken.py", line 194, in do
    self._update()
  File "C:\Users\Fernando\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\googletrans\gtoken.py", line 62, in _update
    code = self.RE_TKK.search(r.text).group(1).replace('var ', '')
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

Can you explain more one what you want to do. Posting the code(?) and the error doesn't help us to determine what you want to do — Max Nguyen, Feb 12 '22 at 02:23
When posting tracebacks, mark them as code so they can be read. — Terry Jan Reedy, Feb 13 '22 at 06:55
yes using this version of googletrans it worked pip install 'googletrans==4.0.0rc1' — Fernando Fiore, Feb 13 '22 at 11:52

The traceback shows that line 62 in gtoken.update is not prepared to handle the case that seach return None instead of a match object. Report the code and traceback to the googletrans authors.
