After I add your fix, it moves to this next error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 5, in
print connector.csv()
File "pyGTrends.py", line 105, in csv
raise Exception("Could not find requested section")
Exception: Could not find requested section

��You must be signed in to export data from Google Trends

update: The cause appears to be the use of google 2-step authentication. Disabled that and pyGTrends.py works.

I'm getting the same error, even with the 2 step authentication disabled. "Could not find requested section"
