ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'youtube_dl.extractor.lazy_extractors'

Hi,

thanks for this lib! I tried to use the YouTubeMusicDL class and get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/init.py", line 4, in from .lazy_extractors import * ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'youtube_dl.extractor.lazy_extractors'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Do you have any idea why this error occurs? I simply did:

import ytm api = ytm.YouTubeMusicDL() api.download_album('MPREb_ctJ5HEJw8pg')

Hi, what platform are you using?

YouTubeDL opens up a CMD window on Windows for FFMpeg which I attempted to hide using creationflags. I wasn't aware this was a platform specific trait and am happy to try and find an alternative option.

At the top of ytm/apis/YouTubeMusicDL/YouTubeMusicDL.py the code underneath the # Monkey patch ffmpeg's popen: comment is what's used. If you comment out the redirection of subprocess.Popen does it work?

[AndreasWidmer]

Oh yeah, OS is a good information, sorry about that missing information. I tried on unix systems: Ubuntu 20.04 and MacOs 10.15

It seems like commenting out that redirection works!

That's great to hear, I'll leave it commented for now then until I have a working platform independent solution.

The YouTubeMusicDL class is still a work in progress and I aim to make it more robust soon 👍
