Problems related with "No JSON object could be decoded" in Python 2.7.13

[rubenmulero]

Hello.

Firstly I want to say that I new with Zotero and Pyzotero so I want to know exaclty if this is my fault or not.

I'm having an error using Pyzotero when I want to retrieve information in bibtext format. If I do the following:

item = zot.item(item_key, format='bibtex')

where:

• zot: A zotero instance

• item_key: A key of the item that I want to recover from API.

The following error raises:

raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")

I seems that error is produced when Pyzotero uses "requests" library. I think it could be my Python version (Python 2.7.13).

If I call to method without "format" the library works well. In a Ubuntu 14.04 machine (Using older version of Python 2) it works without problems.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

You say it works without problems on an older version of Python 2. Are you sure? Could you check both the Python version and the Pyzotero version on the older machine?

I ask because I think it's a Pyzotero problem, and it shouldn't matter what version of Python 2 you're running.

I've pushed what I hope is a fix to PyPI, so if you upgrade your current Pyzotero version (latest is 1.2.6), you should get valid BibTeX back.
