py: Error geting json from github api

[poofyteddy]

Hello, I just used your soft for the first time (thank's for the work) and i encounter this error while

downloading the last version of HiyaCFW
Exception in thread Thread-2:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/threading.py", line 914, in _bootstrap_inner
    self.run()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/threading.py", line 862, in run
    self._target(*self._args, **self._kwargs)
  File "./HiyaCFW_Helper.py", line 308, in get_latest_hiyacfw
    latest = jsonify(conn)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/json/__init__.py", line 268, in load
    parse_constant=parse_constant, object_pairs_hook=object_pairs_hook, **kw)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/json/__init__.py", line 312, in loads
    s.__class__.__name__))
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'

From what i have dig, it happens during the jsonify(conn) L308 I did a quick update of my system before hand, but maybe i my library are outdated, i can't really check that.

Sorry for bothering :)

because i needed it to work, i did quick hack replacing the line by

import json
latest = json.loads(str(conn.read(), encoding='utf-8'))

and same for the TWLight section

This same thing is happening to me. @poofyteddy, thanks for the update! I'm hoping to try your tweak soon.

Python 3.5 doesn't support streams on json.load, that's why the minimum required version is 3.6. Changed json.load to json.loads in commit a564c91004979ae8753739f18e30eee7e0a6bc1d . Closing...
