Describing AttributeError NoneType object has no attribute group
The error can happen to anyone running googletrans, here is an example of the error message.
Bellow I make my best attempt at solving the error and present multiple possible solutions.
Solution 1 : googletrans==3 or 4
First of all this is a bug in googletrans, it is not because of your computer, environment or installations or even a mistake in your code.
As of june 2020 a new fix was released, an alpha version of googletrans was released.
All you have to do is run the command bellow.
For some people the solution above does not work, a new fix was released again in december 2020
Again all you have to do is to run the command bellow.
Solution 2 : google_trans_new
If none of the above worked I have another solution for you, there is something called google_trans_new all you have to do is to install it using pip.
I hope the commands above fixed your problem, good luck with the scripts to come.
