This code cause exception:

It would be a lot more helpful if you gave the full stack trace in an error report.

I can reproduce this:

$ python

FWIW, this is a general incompatibility with Python 3, rather than something specific to Python 3.5.1. Currently this package does not support Python 3, but we would accept a pull request that provided such compatibility.

Closing as a duplicate of #3.
