Python3 -- objectpath ...broken?

Question

After hours of unsuccessfully trying to use objectpath in a Python3-script, I made the following simple experiment:

>>> from objectpath import *
>>> tree=Tree({"a":1})
>>> tree.execute("$.a")

Expected output: 1

Success with python (2)

>>> from objectpath import *
>>> tree=Tree({"a":1})
>>> tree.execute("$.a")
1
>>>

Error with python3:

Is there something wrong with my installation of Python3 ? objectpath in P3 neither works in scripts nor on console

To run this in Python 3.x you should pip3 install objectpath otherwise it won't work.

See below how I ran your code:
