`user.get_service()` fails because response is already json

>>> e = ethz_iam_webservice.login(IAM_USERNAME, IAM_PASSWORD) 
>>> user = e.get_user('beyerleu') 
>>> gs = user.get_service("Mailbox")

Because a request.Response is expected

but it's already converted to json:

There also only seems to be a UserLegacy - so not sure how relevant this is.

(Note that the other data = json.loads(resp.content.decode()) on the page are ok because delete_request returns a Response. )
