AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' (scipy1.7)

[htalibart]

Hello,

When running the simple example provided in your wiki, CCMpred failed with the following error in ccmpred/algorithm/lbfgs.py, line 91, in minimize: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'decode' It seems to be because I am using a newer version of scipy (scipy1.7.1).

Replacing line 91 of ccmpred/algorithm/lbfgs.py: "message": res.message.decode("utf-8"), with "message": res.message, fixed it for me.
