Loading Arff Data not working

[ameet-1997]

The first line from the official docs pertaining to loading datasets,
from skmultilearn.dataset import Dataset,
shows the error" ImportError: cannot import name 'Dataset' "

[ChristianSch]

Hey there,
the docs are wrong, you can load arff data sets like this:

from skmultilearn.dataset import load_dataset
d = load_dataset('enron', 'undivided')

d is a dictionary which (in the case of enron) gives you X, y or features and labels as keys:

X, y = d['X'], d['y']

Available data sets can be listed like this:

from skmultilearn.dataset import available_data_sets
available_data_sets()

For more information please see here.

Not working here either, on Python 3.5 with Anaconda. First time, it failed with trying to load the Standard Library from future. Monkeypatched that import out with a comment.

Now I'm getting this:
from skmultilearn.dataset import available_data_sets
available_data_sets()

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

      1 from skmultilearn.dataset import available_data_sets
----> 2 available_data_sets()

~/miniconda3/envs/py35/lib/python3.5/site-packages/skmultilearn/dataset.py in available_data_sets()
    106     archives = get_dataset_list()
    107     archives = [x.split(';')[-1].split('.')[0].split('-') for x in archives.split('\n')]
--> 108     variants = set()
    109     for a in archives:
    110         if a[0] not in variants:

TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

[ljvmiranda921]

I think this is the same bytes/string issue regarding the incompatibility between Python 2 and 3.
To the creators, I'm wondering if you are doing an integration test (like with travis-ci) to atleast check the compatibility.

[ChristianSch]

I can replicate this problem for a clean install of python 3.6, however not for python 2. I'll look into it.

@ChristianSch thank you for the fix!
