Blockcypher-python UnicodeError("label too long")

Question

I'm having a nasty issue with Blockcypher for Python. A simple snippet code

import sys
from blockcypher import get_address_overview

print(sys.version)
print(sys.version_info)
print(get_address_overview('1BTCorgHwCg6u2YSAWKgS17qUad6kHmtQW'))

is raising this exception on my local installation (I'm using PyCharm)

3.7.6 (tags/v3.7.6:43364a7ae0, Dec 19 2019, 00:42:30) [MSC v.1916 64 bit (AMD64)] sys.version_info(major=3, minor=7, micro=6, releaselevel='final', serial=0)

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\lib\encodings\idna.py", line 167, in encode raise UnicodeError("label too long") UnicodeError: label too long

while on Repl.it everything is working flawlessly.

Debugging idna.py showed that the 3rd label is the one raising the exception, but I'm struggling to understand why I'm having this issue on my local installation.

A fix for Windows has been made in the last release (1.0.80).
