Proper Use Of Python 3.x AMFY Module - python-3.x

Question

How am I supposed to use the Amfy module? I try to use it like the JSON module (amfy.loads or amfy.load), but it just gives me errors:
C:\Users\Other>"C:\Users\Other\Desktop\Python3.5.2\test amf.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Other\Desktop\Python3.5.2\test amf.py", line 4, in <module>
print(amfy.load(cn_rsp.text))
File "C:\Users\Other\Desktop\Python3.5.2\lib\site-packages\amfy\__init__.py", line 9, in load
return Loader().load(input, proto=proto)
File "C:\Users\Other\Desktop\Python3.5.2\lib\site-packages\amfy\core.py", line 33, in load
return self._read_item3(stream, context)
File "C:\Users\Other\Desktop\Python3.5.2\lib\site-packages\amfy\core.py", line 52, in _read_item3
marker = stream.read(1)[0]
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'read'
this is what I wrote:
import requests
import amfy
cn_rsp = requests.get("http://realm498.c10.castle.rykaiju.com/api/locales/en/get_serialized_new")
print(amfy.load(cn_rsp.text))

Answer 1

After tinkering around and googling some stuff, I found a fix:
New code:
import amfy, requests, json
url = "http://realm416.c9.castle.rykaiju.com/api/locales/en/get_serialized_static"
req = requests.get(url)
if req.status_code == 200:
ret = req.json() if "json" in req.headers["content-type"] else amfy.loads(req.content)
else:
ret = {"failed": req.reason}
with open ("doa manifest.txt", 'w', encoding = 'utf-8') as dump:
json.dumps(ret, dump)
The Terminal throws a UnicodeEncodeError, but I was able to fix that by entering chcp 65001 and then set PYTHONIOENCODING=utf-8

The load method expects an input stream, you provide it a string. Just convert your string into a memory buffer which supports read method like this:
import io
print(amfy.load(io.BytesIO(cn_rsp.text.encode())))
unfortunately serialization fails when using this. Is there another url where it would work, a test URL maybe?
File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\amfy\core.py", line 146, in _read_vli
byte = stream.read(1)[0]
