Coincidentally, I also encountered the same problem。 Try this，ediit file \pytube\cipher.py line 30.
var_regex = re.compile(r"^\$*\w+\W")This fixed the issue for me. Might be worth looking into for others facing the issue.
Here is the original line in case that solution doesn’t work and you need to revert the code.
var_regex = re.compile(r"^\w+\W")
