can you share a Dockerfile where this exception is raised @digitaldavenyc?

[digitaldavenyc]

FROM debian:jessie-slim

WORKDIR /var/app

ENV PYTHONPATH $PYTHONPATH:/var/app

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y libsnappy-dev libyaml-dev python-pip git libjpeg-dev libffi-dev python-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev zlib1g-dev libpq-dev python
RUN pip install --upgrade pip

COPY . ./

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

EXPOSE 8000

CMD ./bin/boot

@hugobessa It's during the pip install for all the requirements.txt libraries.

I think the simplest fix is to remove all the non-ascii characters from the __init__.py file because they aren't compatible with Python 2.x strings

I can install it locally (mac) with python 2.7.15 but it fails in docker (Using a ubuntu image). Would it be possible to remove the non-ascii characters as @digitaldavenyc suggested?

This issue reproduces with CentOS6.5 and Python 3.6.
The issue started on version 0.0.7 (0.0.6 installation runs successfully)
