open_resource() fails with python 3.7 and pyvisa-py==0.6.2

[sbor23]

The latest version (0.6.2) is broken with python 3.7. Simply opening a TCPIP connection throws an error.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make sure you have python 3.7 installed
2. Make sure you have pyvisa-py 0.6.2 installed
3. Open a connection via TCPIP socket:

   pyvisa.ResourceManager("@py").open_resource("TCPIP::10.0.0.101::1080::SOCKET")

This results in the following stacktrace:

Can you run with logging to screen enabled ? Somebody reported a similar issue before but for INSTR and it was fixed #344.

[MatthieuDartiailh]

Okay I finally got what you are dealing with. And I did mess up. Basically since you run pyvisa 1.12 (as is allowed) you do not get the vicp constant and as a consequence the module fail to load the SOCKET resource but manage to get the VXI-11 and HiSLIP. I will work on a fix.

0.6.3 which fixes the issue is out
