TypeError: request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'json' when opening Sheet

See original GitHub issue

When attempting to open a spreadsheet with following function:

def openSS(bookName, sheetName):
        if not os.path.isfile(gsJSONFile):
                print("JSON client file does not exist!")
                sys.exit(2)
        scope = ['https://spreadsheets.google.com/feeds']
        credentials = ServiceAccountCredentials.from_json_keyfile_name(gsJSONFile, scope)
        gc = gspread.authorize(credentials)
        wks = gc.open(bookName).worksheet(sheetName)
        return wks

I’m getting this error, but I don’t get it when running exact same file on a Macbook Pro:

  File "github/Scripts/Python/weather.py", line 268, in autoMode
    wks = openSS("Weather API", "Current")
  File "github/Scripts/Python/weather.py", line 51, in openSS
    wks = gc.open(bookName).worksheet(sheetName)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gspread/client.py", line 82, in open
    feed = self.get_spreadsheets_feed()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gspread/client.py", line 155, in get_spreadsheets_feed
    r = self.session.get(url)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gspread/httpsession.py", line 73, in get
    return self.request('GET', url, params=params, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gspread/httpsession.py", line 65, in request
    response = func(url, data=data, params=params, headers=request_headers, files=files, json=json)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/requests/sessions.py", line 467, in get
    return self.request('GET', url, **kwargs)
TypeError: request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'json'

Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04 Python version: 2.7.6 gspread version: just re-installed it with pip, so latest.

Thanks in advance!
