GooBook 3.5.1 authentication error: KeyError: '_module' on Linux Mint XDFC

Question

I installed goobook 3.5.1 following instructions from:

https://pypi.org/project/goobook/

However, when goobook is authenticated as:

goobook authenticate -- CLIENT_ID CLIENT_SECRET

following error is encountered:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/garv/.local/bin/goobook", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/home/garv/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/goobook/application.py", line 134, in main
    config = goobook.config.read_config(args.config)
  File "/home/garv/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/goobook/config.py", line 128, in read_config
    config.creds = config.store.get() if auth_file.exists() else None
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/oauth2client/client.py", line 407, in get
    return self.locked_get()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/oauth2client/file.py", line 54, in locked_get
    credentials = client.Credentials.new_from_json(content)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/oauth2client/client.py", line 302, in new_from_json
    module_name = data['_module']
KeyError: '_module'

CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET are generated(alternative way) from :

Please assist.

Thanks and Regards
