Line: 154 try removing .decode('utf-8') and you might have to remove the bytes portion as well. This isn't an error of the script, as it is more encoding/decoding issue for the serialization.

You can also look into simplejson if you don't want to deal with encoding/decoding issues.

Other than that, that's my best guess based on your title, and I don't ever use 2.7 unfortunately.
