Twitter backend error with Python 3.3 #139

Description

(Perhaps this also affects all OAuth1 based backends)

I got the following error

b'oauth_token=TOKEN&oauth_token_secret=SECRET&oauth_callback_confirmed=true' is not JSON serializable

The error arises when Django saves the session data (encoded in JSON) that contains that unauthorized token from Twitter. The type of the token is byte so the json module refuses to encode it. I see that the token value is retrieved from the requests module.

Other libs that are also installed in my setup:

$ pip list
Django (1.6)
geojson (1.0.5)
ipython (1.1.0)
lxml (3.2.4)
oauthlib (0.6.0)
pip (1.4.1)
psycopg2 (2.5.1)
pykml (0.1.0)
python-social-auth (0.1.17)
python3-openid (3.0.3)
raven (3.5.2)
requests (2.1.0)
requests-oauthlib (0.3.1)
setuptools (0.9.8)
Shapely (1.2.18)
