It seems that sherlock has tests for Python 3 and they are passing... Why I am getting the exception then?

Apologies for not being able to respond to this earlier. I have fixed the issue. And will make a release soon.

This seems to still be an issue, even on 0.3.2

[shaleh]

Confirmed. I am also seeing this with Sherlock 0.3.2 and Python 3.6.

Which it turns out does not match what is checked into master. @vaidik you appear to have created a tgz with older code.

A common pattern in other repos is to use git tagging to mark releases. This way it is easy for people to examine a specific version of a fix or to look at what changed between versions.
git diff 0.3.0..0.3.2 for example.

When preparing a release you can then do:

$ cd tmp
$ git clone --branch v0.3.2 --depth 1 $GITHUB_REPO_URL sherlock-0.3.2
$ # whatever it takes to prepare repo for release.....
$ tar czvf sherlock-0.3.2.tar.gz sherlock-0.3.2
