wptools Wikipedia API bug?

I am not sure why I am getting this error when I run the following method:

import wptools
wptools.page('E.T._the_Extra-Terrestrial').get()

*TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'*

I have confirmed that this command works on other computers so I'm not sure if there is a bug within the library or if I'm just missing something.

I am running windows 10. '3.5.2 |Anaconda 4.1.1 (64-bit)| (default, Jul 5 2016, 11:41:13) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)]'

I confirmed there was a bug. Developer has updated it. See github issue for reference.
