I am heving troubles migrating to python 3. This is my code:

from io import StringIO
from PIL import Image
import requests
r = requests.get(imagen_url)
imagen = Image.open(StringIO(r.content))

It used to work on python 2. This is the error I get:

initial_value must be str or None, not bytes

Try with `r.text` and tell us. What do normally return the request ? – azro Apr 24 '20 at 18:50
I get this: StringIO cannot be used to open an image. Binary data must be used instead. – Alejandro Veintimilla Apr 24 '20 at 18:56
