Python tldextract Error Reading TLD Cache File

Question

I'm trying to extract domain using tldextract

ext = tldextract.extract(editString2)
print (ext.domain)

but i get this error at the same time, anyway to stop this error? I'm getting the print and result but just trying to find a way to not let it show this error.

error reading TLD cache file C:\Python33\lib\site-packages\tldextract\.tld_set: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 2350: character maps to <undefined>
Exception reading Public Suffix List url https://raw.github.com/mozilla/mozilla-central/master/netwerk/dns/effective_tld_names.dat. Consider using a mirror or constructing your TLDExtract with `fetch=False`.

"mozilla/mozilla-central" on GitHub was renamed to "mozilla/gecko-dev", without a redirect, hence the 404. The URL is fixed in the latest version of tldextract, 1.3.1

If it hadn't been fixed though, you can manually provide a PSL URL to your own TLDExtract callable with the suffix_list_url kwarg. See the docs.
