+novoapi( https://bitbucket.org/novolanguage/python-novo-api ) is written in Python 2.7.

+Then to make it correctly work, few more modification is needed.
+When the wav file is read using the wave module, the output (named buf) is a string of bytes on Python 2.7 while buf is a byte object on Python 3.6. 
+Therefore... 
+
+=== novoapi\backend\session.py
+#audio_packet = str(buf[j:j + buffer_size])
+audio_packet = buf[j:j + buffer_size]
+
+Also, because of this difference, Segment.__repr__ (novoapi\asr\segments\segments.py) does not work.
