HTTPResponse object — JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'

Question

I\'ve been trying to update a small Python library called libpynexmo to work with Python 3.

I\'ve been stuck on this function:

def send_request_json(

Since you are getting a HTTPResponse, you can use Tornado.escape and its json_decode() to convert the JSON strign into a dictionary:

from tornado import escape

body = escape.json_decode(body)

From the manual:

tornado.escape.json_decode(value)

Returns Python objects for the given JSON string.
