Thanks for trying it out! You're probably running in the C locale, which implies an ASCII encoding. That has caused enough trouble that the Python devs decided to automatically convert it to UTF-8 in Python 3.7: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0538/. LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 should fix it. It's a bit silly to have it crash for something like that though. I could force UTF-8 instead of respecting the locale (though it feels neater to respect settings), or tell Python to ignore decoding errors. Should probably do something at least... Cheers, Ulf
