Description

When trying out the newest master branch to check out if thumbnails would get embedded in opus files, the above error was thrown at me...
Yes, I installed python3-mutagen.

Is this the same issue as animelover1984/youtube-dl#17 ?
And does it even work with Python version 3.6.9?

They look like the same issue. But it works correctly for me. Can you confirm that the token generator exists in your copy of the source code?

Edit: Also found this: ytdl-org/youtube-dl#27449

Cloned a fresh copy just now to be sure.
The token generator exists (just like yesterday):
./yt-dlp/youtube_dlc/extractor/anvato_token_generator/__init__.py

youtube-dlc -v

But when applying the new commit proposed here, it works again!

I am trying to identify the root cause of this issue rather than just disabling the token generator all together. But I can't reproduce the issue. I tried python 2.7 and 3.6.9 in addition to 3.8.5 that I normally use. I also tried making a fresh clone. I am not getting the error in any of these cases. If I am unable to find a proper solution, I will just wrap the token generator in a try ... except

Finally found the cause for this. It's an issue in the makefile! same as #3467
