Using Requests library to achieve same result as Urllib (Pickle Module)

New to python so give me a break if I've missed something stupid or it's been answered somewhere else.

Currently working through the 'Python Challenges'. I'm on challenge 5 and attempting to use the Pickle module through passing in some pickled text. I have got it working using the urllib as follows ...

import pickle
from urllib.request import urlopen

page = "http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/banner.p"
raw = urlopen(page)

pick = pickle.load(raw)

print(raw)
print(pick)

However, I'm trying to get it working with the requests library using 

raw = requests.get(page).content

but when then passed into pickle.load(), I receive the error:

TypeError: file must have 'read' and 'readline' attributes

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

It's my first answer on stackoverflow. I checked this 3 times lol
But yeah, this is in the requests doc itself.

import pickle
import requests

def main():
    r=requests.get('http://www.pythonchallenge.com/pc/def/banner.p',stream='True')    
    print(pickle.load(r.raw))    

if __name__=='__main__':    
    main()
