Cache saving empty file and then displaying empty pages

[ViktorBarzin]

First of all my environment:
Kubuntu 17.04
python3.6
None of the env variables in the man is set.

Installing the client and running it for the first time fetches the pages correctly and creates s $HOME/.tldr_cache page with the cached command. However the saved file is empty and running the tldr command again with the same parameter yields an empty response.
tldr -u says it is updating cache but does not seem to work.

Workaround for this is to delete the $HOME/.tldr_cache folder

Oh and by the way it does not seem to take into consideration env variables at all. Whether they are in ~/.bashrc; /etc/environment or other similar place, not taken into consideration.

From the looks of the code this isn't Python 3-compatible, running with Python 2 works

@ViktorBarzin this sounds like a dupe of #31. Can you please check if that's the case?

[ViktorBarzin]

Yes it is the same problem. Should have read the old issue before opening this one.
pip install git+https://github.com/iliakonnov/tldr-python-client.git
does fix the problem. Guess default version in pip is not updated yet.
Thank you

This issue is affecting every single user of the package on Python 3.

[waldyrious]

Yeah. I suppose it's worth reopening that issue until an actual release is made. I'll close this one as a duplicate, thanks for confirming.
