error in installing pygooglenews

[gjain7]

I have tried installing the library but it is failing to install itself. I used collab to run it and windows 11

!pip install pygooglenews --upgrade

So I have found a sort of workaround to this issue:

1. Create a new file called pygooglenews.py
2. Copy the code from https://github.com/kotartemiy/pygooglenews/blob/master/pygooglenews/__init__.py into the newly created file
3. Manually install the packages:
   pip install feedparser
pip install dateparser
4. import pygooglenews like you would normally

jus gonna copy and paste this "solution"

Could I see your file hierarchy or any error(s) you got?

got it resolved, apparently feedparser is using a deprecated method 'base64.decodestring()' i had to replace the method with 'base64.decodebytes' in the package and it worked then.

@rohan1827 where should the method be replaced?
