I had the same error and was fix changing the encoding var  in
setencoding() method from site.py ( in your python installation)
I change it from "ascii" to "UTF-8"

I hope that can help you

PS: Also, If you are using UTF-8 in your code , you need to add "#
coding=UTF-8" as a first line of your file.
