Get current line in Sublime Text 3 plugin

I'm writing a simple plugin for Sublime Text 3 and need to get the contents of the currently selected line. I can use 

selection = sublime.Region(self.view.sel()[0].begin(), self.view.sel()[0].end())

to get the currently highlighted section, but is there a way to select or return the contents of the entire current line without manually selecting all of it?

The 'duplicate' example on this page does what I want, but seems to be broken in ST3. When I run it I get the error TypeError: run() missing 1 required positional argument: 'args'.

I believe what you're after is view.substr(view.line(view.sel()[0]))

This will return the text of the current line.
