the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'

[procmail]

When trying to log in with Facebook on /facebook/example/ , this is what I get:

TypeError at /facebook/connect/ the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes' Request Method: POST Request URL: http://www.example.com/facebook/connect/ Django Version: 1.7 Exception Type: TypeError Exception Value:

I didn't test with Django 1.7 and python 3.4 just yet. A pull request would be much appreciated.

I am having the same problem when using FacebookAuthorization.parse_signed_data(). I narrowed it down to the decoded payload, on line 475 in api.py, not being decoded to string.

Really loving this package @tschellenbach! Unfortunately I'm using Python 3.4 with Django 1.7 as well - would you have an idea when you'll be able to make a fix for this? Unfortunately I'm not a good enough programmer to fix it myself, but are willing to wait to build this feature until it is stable for my setup. Hope to see an update soon :)

I'm working on a fix here: 7d1219b36ef9318495032d8dd0626d11b45fbf9a . Though not finalised yet so do not use it. It would be very nice if people would test this fix =) I'm working on the tests now and I will release potential fixes for those ASAP.

[tschellenbach]

Great guys, much appreciated!

@tschellenbach I'm having a hard time to test this change. How can I run all tests locally and those specifically for open_facebook?

I want to make sure this fix doesn't break anything in python 2, because all tests with python 2 should pass right? An official python 3 release is not out there yet, if I'm correct , so this is just a bonus for those using django-facebook in python 3 environment IMO.

[tschellenbach]

the current version is python 3 compatible in terms of test coverage. but not everything is tested

[tschellenbach]

have a look at how the travis.yml file runs the tests

The snippet [https://github.com/tschellenbach/Django-facebook/commit/7d1219b36ef9318495032d8dd0626d11b45fbf9a] looks to work for me. I'm running python 3.4.3
