I haven't used pytube, but the pafy module works fine for me, you can install it by writing the command "pip install pafy". Your code should look something like this:

import pafy

url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvpb8IdDZZI"
video = pafy.new(url)

#to print title 
print("\n")
print("******************title*****************")
print("the title is:" + video.title)

You can find more information about the pafy module here: https://pypi.org/project/pafy/

Try to install pytube with:

pip install git+https://github.com/ssuwani/pytube

And the official release has also fixed the problem.

You can get the deatils from here.
