Search.Jobs.Export CSV Results - Python SDK

I am using the most current version of Python - Splunk SDK. I am currently upgrading from Python 2.7 to 3.6.

This code works for python 2.7 and returns A CSV (correct response). When implementing the same code below and search the response is a ResponseReader Object for 3.6. Can someone explain why I would get 2 different responses when upgrading to 3.6?

kwargs_export = {
        "search_mode": "normal",
        "output_mode": "csv"
                    }
create_search_results = service.jobs.export(myquery, **kwargs_export)
for item in create_search_results:
    print(create_search_results)
