Trying to download GFS data via Siphon-- Get an xarray error

[Cjseng]

What is your issue?

I am attempting to follow this example code here:
https://unidata.github.io/python-training/workshop/Bonus/downloading-gfs-with-siphon/

However, when I run it, I get this error code:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File ~/anaconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/spyder_kernels/py3compat.py:356 in compat_exec
exec(code, globals, locals)

File ~/Downloads/untitled3.py:30
data = xr.open_dataset(NetCDF4DataStore(data))

File ~/anaconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/xarray/backends/netCDF4_.py:323 in init
self.format = self.ds.data_model

File ~/anaconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/xarray/backends/netCDF4_.py:385 in ds
return self._acquire()

File ~/anaconda3/lib/python3.10/site-packages/xarray/backends/netCDF4_.py:379 in _acquire
with self._manager.acquire_context(needs_lock) as root:

AttributeError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'acquire_context'

I have not changed anything from the code given from unidata, as I'm just learning how to do this in general, but from what I've read this might have something to do with python3? Any help would be appreciated in resolving this issue.
