@tschm Did you try to run it on Python 2.7 instead of 3.x?

[tschm]

We don't do Python 2.7

I'm having the exact same error using python 3.6.5 and pip version 18.0. This is almost a year old issue, is there any movement on this?

@akusei can you share the output of python -c 'import sys; print(sys.getdefaultencoding())'?

I think you may have overwritten the default system encoding to be ascii instead of utf8 and for some reason there is a smart quote in the README.md.
