Just to follow on a bit to Dennis: C:\Users\Wulfraed\Documents\_Hg-Repositories\Python Progs>python googletrans_test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "googletrans_test.py", line 4, in <module> tk = acquirer.do(text) File "C:\Python38\lib\site-packages\googletrans\gtoken.py", line 194, in do self._update() File "C:\Python38\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'
The implication here is that: self.RE_TKK.search(r.text).group(1) generates the error because: self.RE_TKK.search(r.text) returned None instead of a regular expression match object. That means that "r.text" way not what was expected. Like Dennis, i note the remark "for internal use only", suggesting this was some internal Google code for doing something fiddly. It may not be the best thing for what you're trying to do. WRT to a socks proxy, Dennis showed that the issue occurs even without a proxy. I would advocate doing all your debugging without trying to use socks, then get to going through a socks proxy _after_ the main stuff is working.
