NetworkX read_shp works on Python 2.7 but not on Python 3?

Question

I was trying to implement the same code in Python 2.7 and Python 3.0 opening the same file from the same directory using NetworkX's read_shp function.

One, using Python 2.7 IDE and the other is using Virtualenv Python 3.0 in Django.

Python 2.7

import fiona
import networkx as nx

features = fiona.open("/home/gridlockdev/Desktop/heroku/grace/files/test/test.shp")

print len(features)
#for feat in features:
    #print feat['geometry']

G = nx.read_shp('/home/gridlockdev/Desktop/heroku/grace/files/test/test.shp')
print len(G.nodes())
print G.nodes()

print len(G.edges())
print G.edges()

Python 3.0 Django

def view_network(request):
directory  = os.path.join(settings.BASE_DIR, 'files/test/test.shp')

#Open shapefile
shp = fiona.open(directory)

if shp is None:
    print('Could not open %s' % (directory))
else:
    print('Opened %s' % (directory))

    featureCount = len(shp)
    print("Number of features in %s: %d" % (os.path.basename(directory), featureCount))

    G = nx.read_shp(directory)

    print("Number of nodes %d" % G.nodes())
    print("Number of edges %d" % G.edges())

    return render(request, 'plexus/analysis.html')

Python 2.7 would read it and output the corresponding nodes and edges. But 3.0 would not, instead this error shows up:
