[Python] Python requests .json() function do not raise an exception [closed]

But in my case there is a "normal" evaluation performed!

>>> import requests
>>> r = requests.get(myUrl)
>>> r.text
'3.14'
>>> r.content
b'3.14'
>>> r.encoding
'utf-8'
>>> r.json()
3.14
>>> type(r.json())
<class 'float'>
