Issues with TVDB + Python?

Hi Y’all,
There are a couple of problems with tvdb, but I’m not entirely sure this is one of theirs.
When I replace

data = urllib2.urlopen(url, timeout=30).read()

with

data = requests.get(url).content

the XML files are no longer empty. Don’t forget:

import requests

Sonarr doesn’t talk to TVDB directly, except for fetching posters and that’s not C# (which is what Sonarr is written in).
