Get Twitter tweets using snscrape

Can somebody please help me on this.I copied and pasted the code word to word from a YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtIMnmbnOFo&t=1s and yet there is still an Attribute Error occurring can somebody point out the issue:

This is the code

import snscrape.modules.twitter as sns
import pandas as pd
from nltk.corpus import stopwords

# Define your custom query
query = "python"

for tweet in sns.TwitterSearchScraper(query).get_items():
    print(vars(tweet))
    break

Output should return tweets about Python on Twitter

OUTPUT ERROR:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\ambai\PycharmProjects\Twitter\tweets.py", line 1, in <module>
    import snscrape.modules.twitter as sns
  File "C:\Users\ambai\PycharmProjects\Twitter\.venv\Lib\site-packages\snscrape\modules\__init__.py", line 17, in <module>
    _import_modules()
  File "C:\Users\ambai\PycharmProjects\Twitter\.venv\Lib\site-packages\snscrape\modules\__init__.py", line 13, in _import_modules
    module = importer.find_module(moduleName).load_module(moduleName)
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
AttributeError: 'FileFinder' object has no attribute 'find_module'

maybe you can try another python version like 3.9 or 3.10 since some dependency for snscrape is no longer available in the latest version
