problem_statement: Error while parsing template with pycfmodel
Hi guys. I get the following error when I ran the lambda

```
[ERROR] TypeError: ModelMetaclass object argument after ** must be a mapping, not str
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/var/task/cfripper/main.py", line 119, in handler
    cfmodel = pycfmodel.parse(template).resolve()
  File "/var/task/pycfmodel/__init__.py", line 19, in parse
    return CFModel(**template)
```
I've checked and it seems that the `template` is parsed indeed, but instead of a dict, it is a string. Do you have any clues why this might be happening?

Atm I am triggering the lambda with a test input like this
```
{
  "project": "test",
  "stack": {
    "name": "stack-name"
  },
  "region": "eu-west-1",
  "account": {
    "id": 1122334455
  }
}
```
