python 3.8 errors

[goofy78270]

I am running python 38 and receive the following errors when trying to pull a repo with gitlabber.

My call - gitlabber -t ***** -u https://gitlab..... -p

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\python38\lib\site-packages\gitlab\__init__.py", line 795, in _query
    self._data = result.json()
  File "c:\python38\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py", line 898, in json
    return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs)
  File "c:\python38\lib\json\__init__.py", line 357, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "c:\python38\lib\json\decoder.py", line 337, in decode
    obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
  File "c:\python38\lib\json\decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode
    raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None
json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

See this issue you need to make sure you give your token proper API access, try accessing your Gitlab's http API using your token first (via curl)

I have exactly the same issue even with full scope permissions with gitlabber 1.1.0 and Python 3.8.2. The API token is working with the curl and displays all the projects. Also gitlab project list displays all the projects correctly with that token.

Actually this seems to happen when Gitlab installation does not have any groups. My private installation has only users. So when I was trying to clone all the projects from a specific profile (http://gitlab.address/profile), I got the error.

After creating a group with projects inside that group and trying to clone from the root (http://gitlab.address/), cloning works. But the repos behind users are still unreachable..
