remove yuor current python ver..
Install python 3.7.7
will work like a charm

[orlovdumitru]

-> install library:
pip uninstall pytube
pip install pytube3
-> inside:
pip/pytube/extract.py
-> find:
parse_qs(formats[i]["cipher"]) for i, data in enumerate(formats)
-> change it to:
parse_qs(formats[i]["signatureCipher"]) for i, data in enumerate(formats)
-> use pytube:

from pytube import YouTube
import os
def downloadYoutube(vid_url, path):
yt = YouTube(vid_url)
yt = yt.streams.filter(progressive=True, file_extension='mp4').order_by('resolution').desc().first()
if not os.path.exists(path):
os.makedirs(path)

yt.download(path)

url = input('Input url:\n')
path = input('Path to store file:\n')
downloadYoutube(url, path)

@Dhruv200329, have you uninstalled the previous version of pytube on your machine?, if not you'll keep getting the error message, after this re-install pytube3 and it will work, cheers.

@kiloActual thanks bro I tried but no solution

[Arindam-1991]

1. Uninstall any previous pytube versions (either pytube/pytube3)

2. Perform a clean start in conda/python environment as "pip install pytube3"

3. Go to the package location of pytube and look for file pytube/extract.py

4. Look for the line "parse_qs(formats[i]["cipher"]) for i, data in enumerate(formats)"

5. Change "cipher" ---> "signatureCipher"

It will eventually work. I am using python version 3.7.7
