title: strange python issue, 'unicode' object has no attribute 'read'
body: <p>Here is my code and does anyone have any ideas what is wrong? I open <a href="http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=library.getartists&amp;api_key=4c22bd45cf5aa6e408e02b3fc1bff690&amp;user=joanofarctan&amp;format=json" rel="noreferrer">my JSON content</a> directly by browser and it works,</p>
  
  <pre><code>data = requests.get('http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=library.getartists&amp;api_key=4c22bd45cf5aa6e408e02b3fc1bff690&amp;user=joanofarctan&amp;format=json').text
  data = json.load(data)
  print type(data)
  return data
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>thanks in advance,
  Lin</p>
