Issue with quickstart tutorial python3.4 str no attribute decode

[Fi3]

With the code that I can find in the quickstart tutorial I have this error:

_Process Process-1:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/multiprocessing/process.py", line 254, in _bootstrap
self.run()
File "/usr/lib/python3.4/multiprocessing/process.py", line 93, in run
self._target(_self._args, *_self._kwargs)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/datasift/client.py", line 237, in stream
options = ssl.optionsForClientTLS(hostname=WEBSOCKET_HOST.decode("utf-8"))
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode'

If I change in the tutorial's code
client = datasift.Client('DATASIFT_USERNAME', 'DATASIFT_API_KEY')
with
client = datasift.Client(b'DATASIFT_USERNAME', b'DATASIFT_API_KEY')
I have this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "tutorial_datasift.py", line 9, in
fltr = client.compile(csdl)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/datasift/client.py", line 256, in compile
return self.request.post('compile', data=dict(csdl=csdl))
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/datasift/request.py", line 46, in post
return self.build_response(self('post', path, params=params, headers=headers, data=data), path=path)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/datasift/request.py", line 86, in build_response
raise AuthException(data)
datasift.exceptions.AuthException: {'error': 'Authorization failed'}

If I change in client.py line 237
options = ssl.optionsForClientTLS(hostname=WEBSOCKET_HOST.decode("utf-8"))
with
options = ssl.optionsForClientTLS(hostname=WEBSOCKET_HOST)
it seems run.

Could this be merged to master please?
As-is anyone using the library with Python3 spends some amount of time debugging this and fixing it locally, then they find this bug report and wonder why the fix is not in the mainline.
Thanks.
