[mythtv-users] ttdvb.py failing

[Duncan Brown]

Hey

I've started getting this error when running any ttdvb.py

! Error: request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'json'
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "/usr/share/mythtv/metadata/Television/ttvdb.py", line 2578, in

     sys.exit(main())

     r = self.session.post('https://api.thetvdb.com/login', 
json=self.config['auth_payload'], headers=self.headers)

555, in post
     return self.request('POST', url, data=data, json=json, **kwargs)
TypeError: request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'json'

Hunting for the arror message I've found a few references to an out of 
date requests package, but a pip upgrade on it made no difference

Any ideas?

cheers
