Have the same issue here

The unescape() method in the HTMLParser class has been removed in 3.9, you need 3.8.

I am using python 3.10 and I have the same problem. Is there any solution without changing the version of python?

The unescape() method in the HTMLParser class has been removed in 3.9, you need 3.8.

Or use html.unescape in its place, as the changelog for Python 3.9 says:

The unescape() method in the html.parser.HTMLParser class has been removed (it was deprecated since Python 3.4). html.unescape() should be used for converting character references to the corresponding unicode characters.

I am using python 3.10 and I have the same problem. Is there any solution without changing the version of python?

You can refer to my fork 😃
