Open countryinfo.py in ..Lib\site-packages\countryinfo folder. Change the line to:

country_info = json.load(open(file_path, encoding='utf-8'))

It works for me.

from countryinfo import CountryInfo

country = CountryInfo('Singapore')
country.capital()
# returns string
'Singapore'

country.capital() will get you the capital in a string format
