ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

Using it in django-transifex but error is in here.

the response.content is no longer json encoded

according to the response headers it's python pickle format

My guess is that the request headers which by default set to accept / and a user agent of python-requests cause their api to issue a different format in response.

Here it is in a console:

In [1]: from transifex.api import TransifexAPI

In [2]: t = TransifexAPI('xxx', 'xxx', 'https://www.transifex.com')

In [3]: t.ping()
Out[3]: True

In [4]: t.list_resources('pitchupcom')
