The problem for this error has nothing to do with Tkinter, this is a known bug with the pytube package.
Not sure what version of pytube you're using but this issue always seems to be solved after a new pytube update then it goes back to the same issue sometime down the line.
But you can try pip install pytube==10.9.2 as this is now the latest version or python -m pip install --upgrade pytube. Hopefully that will resolve the issue you're now facing.
