yt.publish_date returning blank value #138 revisit

Different results across OS & python versions on YouTube.from_id(video_id).publish_date attribute, not linked to [pytubefix](https://github.com/JuanBindez/pytubefix) 6.13.0 code, seems to come from watch_html value set by _execute_request call's use of from urllib.request import Request, urlopen... Large mismatch in length of watch_html noted while arguments in Request(url, headers=base_headers, method=method, data=data) call are identical...

# from urllib.request import Request, urlopen
from pytubefix import YouTube, extract
from datetime import datetime
import re

def main():
    video_id = 'BBxdzypLalg'
    url = f"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v={video_id}"
    # extract.publish_date = __publish_date
    vidObj = YouTube.from_id(video_id)
    print(len(vidObj.watch_html))
    print(vidObj.publish_date)
    print(type(vidObj.publish_date))
    print('# # # round 2')
    extract.publish_date = __publish_date
    vidObj = YouTube.from_id(video_id)
    print(len(vidObj.watch_html))
    print(vidObj.publish_date)
    print(type(vidObj.publish_date))
    return

def __publish_date(watch_html):
    print(f'len(watch_html):  {len(watch_html)}')
    try:
        REGEX_1 = r'(?<=itemprop="datePublished" content=")\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}[+-]\d{2}:\d{2}'
        REGEX_2 = r'(?<="publishDate":{"simpleText":")\w+ \d{1,2}, \d{4}'
        REGEX_3 = r'(?<="publishDate":")\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}[+-]\d{2}:\d{2}'
        result = re.search(
            REGEX_1,
            watch_html)
        if result:
            print(REGEX_1)
            # return datetime.fromisoformat(result.group(0))
        result = re.search(
            REGEX_2,
            watch_html)
        if result:
            print(REGEX_2)
            # return datetime.strptime(result.group(0), '%b %d, %Y')
        result = re.search(
            REGEX_3,
            watch_html)
        if result:
            print(REGEX_3)
            # return datetime.strptime(result.group(0), '%b %d, %Y')  
        return datetime.now() # # # dummy value...
    except AttributeError as e:
        print(e)
        return None

if __name__=='__main__':
    main()

yields, with with pytubefix 6.13.0 MacOS Monterey 12.7.6, python 3.11.8:


1033817
2024-08-21 07:32:12-07:00
<class 'datetime.datetime'>
# # # round 2
1035229
len(watch_html):  1035229
(?<=itemprop="datePublished" content=")\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}T\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}[+-]\d{2}:\d{2}
(?<="publishDate":{"simpleText":")\w+ \d{1,2}, \d{4}

2024-08-21 13:42:29.095798
<class 'datetime.datetime'>

while with pytubefix 6.13.0 on python 3.11.2, Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) yields


975900
None
<class 'NoneType'>
# # # round 2
941545
len(watch_html):  941545
(?<="publishDate":{"simpleText":")\w+ \d{1,2}, \d{4}
2024-08-21 20:43:20.558797
<class 'datetime.datetime'>

Expected behavior Should yield same YouTube.from_id(video_id).publish_date attributes across platforms and python versions...
