Python使用googletrans报错

问题

Python代码一直用着免费的Google翻译API插件 googletrans ，这两天突然就报错了：

Traceback (most recent call last):  File "xxx.py", line 5, in <module>    result = translator.translate("Result from google translator", dest="zh-CN")  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/googletrans/client.py", line 172, in translate    data = self._translate(text, dest, src)  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/googletrans/client.py", line 75, in _translate    token = self.token_acquirer.do(text)  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/googletrans/gtoken.py", line 180, in do    self._update()  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/googletrans/gtoken.py", line 59, in _update    code = unicode(self.RE_TKK.search(r.text).group(1)).replace('var ', '')AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group' 

单独写个测试：

from googletrans import Translator; if __name__ == "__main__":    translator = Translator()    result = translator.translate("Result from google translator", dest="zh-CN")    print(result.text)     result = translator.translate("使用免费谷歌自动翻译API", dest="en")    print(result.text) 

曝出同样的错误。

解决办法

谷歌爸爸的翻译API接口进行了改动，让一票翻译的软件包不好使了。问题影响是全球性的，所以GayHub上很快就跟进讨论，并提交代码修复。代码在手，方案我有，三步操作让 googletrans 重新好使：

googletrans

打开终端，三个命令搞定问题：

pip uninstall googletransgit clone https://github.com/BoseCorp/py-googletrans.gitcd ./py-googletrans && python setup.py install
