Error loading Python wrapper

Hi

I am new to both Python and Json so this is probably simply a lack of understanding.
I loaded the thirdlight Python package using pip.  Seems to be fine.
When I run import thirdlight I get the following:

>>> import thirdlight
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Program Files (x86)\JetBrains\PyCharm Community Edition 4.0.4\helpers\pydev\pydev_import_hook.py", line 21, in do_import
    module = self._system_import(name, *args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Python34\lib\site-packages\thirdlight.py", line 31, in <module>
    from types import DictType
ImportError: cannot import name 'DictType'

I found reference on line saying that DictType is no longer used after Python 3.1.  I am using 3.4.  Is there an easy fix for this or would I be better off just abandoning the idea of using the thirdlight Python package?
I am hoping that all I have to do is edit thirdlight.py to change every reference of "DictType" to something else and change the import statement.

Thanks for any help.

Re: Error loading Python wrapper

I unistalled all python and packages.  Installed python 2.7 and installed thirdlight again using pip.  Now am getting following:

>>> import thirdlight
>>> tl = ThirdLight('http://x.thirdlight.com', 'xxx')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'ThirdLight' is not defined

Any ideas?
