UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\U0001f4bb' in position 0

The trace isn't necessarily helpful, but here it is:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Okay for some reason this library prints out a welcome message with emojis for no real reason,

Hi @macdonjo ,
We live in 2017, unicode is the standard.

Please use a terminal with support for unicode character and emoji (default if unicode is supported).

I think there should be a way to remove the welcome message, or at least the emoji from it. Not everyone has an emoji-capable terminal with bitmap support.

[b3nab]

I notice that you use python 2.7, maybe this is the problem.
I'll test it out and eventually (this is not my first option) remove the emoji from the client.

Info soon..

I found a solution good for all: remove emoji package and add (in the near future) some ascii art instead of emoji, so this will bring support to everyone on every platform and keep this package "fun" as it should be.

You could find a new version on pip. I close this issue, open a new one if there are other problems.
