[Parsing Error]: Import correction and trouble parsing the "data" variable

[BLTSEC]

MHA is an awesome tool and I loved the output I received using the Heroku. Thank you very much for creating it! I did however have some issues running MHA locally:

• I believe the from email.Parser import needs to be email.parser
• I also had an issue on line 81, I received "TypeError: initial_value must be str or None, not bytes"
• I confirmed the headers I used were valid and tested them against the Heroku version without issue
• I confirmed the variable "data" was of type str
• I experimented with using BytesHeaderParser instead of HeaderParser but I didn't find a solution
• Behaviour: The page loads successfully, I paste my headers in, and then click submit. The Traceback is thrown at this point.

Here's my Traceback:

Thanks for the feedback. MHA was written using Python 2 and not 3
