Python XMPP Error : Failed SASL authentification: <incorrect-encoding />

I'm trying to get a TLS XMPP client working using python 2.7.6 on Ubuntu 14.04. I have DEBUG mode enabled and the whole connection looks good up until I get the error message error Failed SASL authentification: <incorrect-encoding />. I've verified the user and password account via a desktop Jabber client. Here is the code I'm using. Any ideas why this is not working?:

#!/usr/bin/python

import xmpp

username= 'testxmpp'
passwd  = 'testtesttest'
to='jabber.somedomain.com'
msg='hello :)'



client = xmpp.Client('jabber.somedomain.com')
client.connect(server=('jabber.somedomain.com',5222))
client.auth(username, passwd, 'botty')
client.sendInitPresence()
message = xmpp.Message(to, msg)
message.setAttr('type', 'chat')
client.send(message)

This is an excerpt of the DEBUG output from the program:

      </failure>

In case it helps someone else, had to make an edit in the /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/xmpp/auth.py file:

...
      elif "PLAIN" in mecs:
            sasl_data='%s\x00%s\x00%s'%(self.username+'@'+self._owner.Server,self.username,self.password)
            # ko - 2017-01-09 - fix for 'incorrect-encoding' error 
            # node=Node('auth',attrs={'xmlns':NS_SASL,'mechanism':'PLAIN'},payload=[base64.encodestring(sasl_data)])
            node=Node('auth',attrs={'xmlns':NS_SASL,'mechanism':'PLAIN'},payload=[base64.encodestring(sasl_data).replace('\r','').replace('\n','')]) 
        else:
...
