Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/json/__init__.py", line 312, in loads
    s.__class__.__name__))
TypeError: the JSON object must be str, not 'bytes'

   Fix:

$ python3 -c "import urllib.request,json; print(json.loads(urllib.request.urlopen('https://www.howsmyssl.com/a/check').read().decode('ascii'))['tls_version'])"
