In blog by Grant Curell of "Python – Search Youtube for Video", I got the code that gives the link of youtube video. But when I am using it, it gives me an error. Why?

Please tell me if there is something wrong here.

What I have tried:

Here is the code which I copied -

import urllib.request
import urllib.parse
import re

query_string = urllib.parse.urlencode({"search_query" : input()})
html_content = urllib.request.urlopen("http://www.youtube.com/results?" + query_string)
search_results = re.findall(r'href=\"\/watch\?v=(.{11})', html_content.read().decode())
print("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + search_results[0])

If you got the code from a blog, then the author of the blog is the obvious person to ask, not a random website that has no idea what the blog involves.

Since this blog is hosted here, you will find a forum at teh bottom in which you can talk to the author: Python – Search Youtube for Video[^]

Give him some time: remember his timezone may be very different from yours, and he may also be busy - I'm sure he will get back to you if you are patient.
