AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

[Itz-MrJ]

I'm using one of the basic code:

from googletrans import Translator

translator = Translator()

translation=translator.translate('안녕하세요.', dest='ja')

print(translation)

And I'm getting an attribute error :
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

Please let me know if the module is still working properly.

It solved the problem, but it doesn't translate anything now.

I'm having the same issue as @dkbrz .

If i run:

translator = Translator()

translation=translator.translate('안녕하세요.', dest='ja')

print(translation.text)

it is returning the original string - untranslated: '안녕하세요'

@jbakerr @dkbrz I checked myself personally on my computer - everything works perfectly:

[JoyceXu02]

Try "import googletrans" and "translator = googletrans.Translator()". It works in my case.

[trimbilrepo]

you need to check that others dependencies is compatible with your current version.
such as:

h2 version h2 3.2.0
hyperframe 5.2.0

check your pip version, update if require then do:

$ pip3 uninstall googletrans
$ pip3 install googletrans

Hum..... the problem has not been solved yet. After reinstalling the library from latest version to 3.1.0a0, 'dest' parameter doesn't work. When you're trying to translate 'hello', despite selected destination langauge, you get the source text again....

When will the default pip3 branch default to this version?

The issue is due to a failure followed by an invalid execution path that is not handled properly .. it seems.

Ref: jtoken.py

  # in jtoken file (orig)
  raw_tkk = self.RE_TKK.search(r.text)
  if raw_tkk:
    self.tkk = raw_tkk.group(1)
    return

    code = self.RE_TKK.search(r.text).group(1).replace('var ', '')

  # in jtoken file (modified)
  raw_tkk = self.RE_TKK.search(r.text)
  if raw_tkk:
    self.tkk = raw_tkk.group(1)
    return

    # we already called search() so let's just use the result which is raw_tkk
    code = raw_tkk.group(1).replace('var ', '')

As it can be noticed from the above two, which logically are equal

# raw_tkk is the result of calling self.RE_TKK.search(r.text)

raw_tkk = self.RE_TKK.search(r.text)

# If raw_tkk is valid, it return from the function as follow 
 if raw_tkk:
    self.tkk = raw_tkk.group(1)
    return

# If it is not valid, it does run
code = self.RE_TKK.search(r.text).group(1).replace('var ', '')

# which is equal to 
code = raw_tkk.group(1).replace('var ', '')

# But we know we are there due to an invalid `raw_tkk`, and one cannot call `.group(1)` on an a NoneType `raw_tkk`.

Furthermore, I dump the repose text r.text and I noticed it looked like an error page in html, so the api is probably failing.
Hope the above can help with a fix in RC2.
