translate script failing (completeley)

[original-birdman]

If I run the supplied translate script I get:

[gmllaptop]:  ./translate -s en  -d de "Just a test"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/GMLtemp/GML/x/py-googletrans/./translate", line 47, in <module>
    main()
    ~~~~^^
  File "/GMLtemp/GML/x/py-googletrans/./translate", line 38, in main
    [{result.src}] {result.origin}
      ^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'src'
<sys>:0: RuntimeWarning: coroutine 'Translator.translate' was never awaited

> translate -s "ru" -d "en" "Тестирование"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/d9k/.local/bin/translate", line 3, in <module>
    from googletrans import translate
ImportError: cannot import name 'translate' from 'googletrans' (/home/d9k/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/googletrans/__init__.py)

> pip show googletrans
Name: googletrans
Version: 4.0.2

Tried to reinstall too:

pip uninstall googletrans
pip install -U googletrans

/home/d9k/.local/bin/translate script

#!/usr/bin/python3
import sys
from googletrans import translate
if __name__ == '__main__':
    if sys.argv[0].endswith('.exe'):
        sys.argv[0] = sys.argv[0][:-4]
    sys.exit(translate())

differs from https://github.com/ssut/py-googletrans/blob/main/translate. Tried to delete it and reinstall. Didn't help

After replacing script with newer version I get error from the first message (AttributeError: 'coroutine' object has no attribute 'src')

@ssut, in translate script you should await for translator.translate() like you do in test_client.py.

I don't know async python but this works:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import argparse
import asyncio

from googletrans import Translator

async def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser(
        description="Python Google Translator as a command-line tool"
    )
    parser.add_argument("text", help="The text you want to translate.")
    parser.add_argument(
        "-d",
        "--dest",
        default="en",
        help="The destination language you want to translate. (Default: en)",
    )
    parser.add_argument(
        "-s",
        "--src",
        default="auto",
        help="The source language you want to translate. (Default: auto)",
    )
    parser.add_argument("-c", "--detect", action="store_true", default=False, help="")
    args = parser.parse_args()
    translator = Translator()

    if args.detect:
        result = translator.detect(args.text)
        result = f"""
[{result.lang}, {result.confidence}] {args.text}
        """.strip()
        print(result)
        return

    # result = translator.translate(args.text, dest=args.dest, src=args.src)
    result = await translator.translate(args.text, dest=args.dest, src=args.src)
    result = f"""
[{result.src}] {result.origin}
    ->
[{result.dest}] {result.text}
[pron.] {result.pronunciation}
    """.strip()
    print(result)


if __name__ == "__main__":
    loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
    loop.run_until_complete(main())

That asyncio.get_event_loop() should be asyncio.new_event_loop()?

@original-birdman, thanks, seems get_event_loop will not work on Python 3.16+
