It seems you are using Python 3.7. Does the problem also occur when you use Python 3.5 or 3.6?

From the README:

Python 3.7 is not yet supported and may not work.

[mherrmann]

I take it from your :+1: that Python 3.7 was the problem. Closing this issue.

Hi, sorry I don't know why that is. If you have a minimal example that reproduces the problem, please open a new issue with further details.
