if unicode object is detected (instead of json) , convert it to json using simplejson/json.

Can you give an example when a unicode object would be detected?

trying to decode it with simplejson after detecting unicode, solved it

    json_error = False
    try:
        try:
            # try to get json
            content = content.json()
        except AttributeError:
            # if unicode detected
            content = json.loads(content)
    except ValueError:
        json_error = True
        content = {}

I don't understand how you received unicode?

I just did:

r = requests.get('http://api.twitter.com/1.1/statuses/user_timeline.json', auth=auth)
r.json()

and it didn't throw an Exception?

On line 172 in twython.py you're trying to ?

 content = response.content.decode('utf-8')

I'm actually not sure why we're decoding that, let me ping @ryanmcgrath

Gotcha gotcha! I replicated the error! Think you can update the version in setup.py and in twython.py both to 2.7.2 and I'll merge this in push to PyPi! :D

You could do that too! I was going to do that in the 2.7.1 release but got lazy and didn't feel like looking up your info and links, sorry! 🍰 haha
