@abd-bourai, try to add this enviroment PYTHONIOENCODING="utf8"
it works for me.

also getting this error, it feels like a python 2 vs python 3 thing, but we're definitely using python3. Unfortunately, its an intermittent error, happens sometimes, other times it doesn't.

this totally works, but the error itself is a little unsettling, especially since its intermittent thus not super reproducable. Any ideas on why this is happening?

how do you set this value in a docker file with an entrypoint

ENTRYPOINT ["python3", "-m", "awslambdaric"]

@rush86999 , Hi!
Just put it into your dockerfile:
ENV PYTHONIOENCODING="utf8"
Or when you run your image, you can set variable by command:
docker run -e "PYTHONIOENCODING=utf8" %image_id%
