[py3] getSourcePackage() crashes with ValueError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

[Martin Pitt]

With python3-launchpadlib, the getSourcePackage() API call fails:

$ python3 ~/test.py
distro: https://api.staging.launchpad.net/1.0/ubuntu
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/martin/test.py", line 8, in <module>
    pkg = ubuntu.getSourcePackage(name='coreutils')
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lazr/restfulclient/resource.py", line 621, in __call__
    return self._handle_200_response(url, response, content)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/lazr/restfulclient/resource.py", line 656, in _handle_200_response
    document = loads(text_type(content))
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/json/__init__.py", line 318, in loads
    return _default_decoder.decode(s)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/json/decoder.py", line 343, in decode
    obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end())
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/json/decoder.py", line 361, in raw_decode
    raise ValueError(errmsg("Expecting value", s, err.value)) from None
ValueError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

With python-launchpadlib (py2) it works fine:

$ python ~/test.py
('distro:', <distribution at https://api.staging.launchpad.net/1.0/ubuntu>)
('pkg:', <distribution_source_package at https://api.staging.launchpad.net/1.0/ubuntu/+source/coreutils>)
