I downloaded TSC via pip only a few weeks ago and did NOT come with this fix for python 3. Still errors out with basestring issue you fixed @shinchris. Had come up with same and came here to create pull request to add but glad to see fixed. Why is this fix not coming when download latest via pip?

@thagraybush This fix was merged into the 'development' branch, waiting to be released into 'master' with version 0.8. When you downloaded TSC via pip a few weeks ago, we were still on version 0.7, so it didn't include this fix. We released version 0.8 today (4/8/19), so you should be able to pip install now and have this fix applied.

Thanks! @shinchris I literally added exact same code to my files before coming here, was just going to suggest same change but saw you already fixed it :) So I am good to go and glad getting released to everyone.
