broken encoding with python 3.4 (fix inside) #187

context:

.../site-packages/oauth2client/client.py", line 1515, in __init__
self.private_key = base64.b64encode(private_key) 
File ".../venv/lib/python3.4/base64.py", line 62, in b64encode
encoded = binascii.b2a_base64(s)[:-1]
TypeError: 'str' does not support the buffer interface

Changing line 1515 in oauth2client/client.py from this:

self.private_key = base64.b64encode(private_key)

to this:

self.private_key = base64.b64encode(private_key.encode('ascii'))

fixed my issue.

I think you have the wrong OAuth2Client. This is an iOS/OS X library for OAuth 2, not python.
