UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9'

Tested with pysrt 1.0.1 (Debian buster 10.3 and Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 default pkg) and pypip version which is also 1.0.1 (for both debian buster and ubuntu bionic)
I tried with the github version (1.1.2) but somehow I can't make that one work.

I have a series of 6 utf-8 based srt files in Dutch.
If I check them I see

file -i new/Shetland-05x02-Episode2.MTB.srt 
new/Shetland-05x02-Episode2.MTB.srt: text/plain; charset=utf-8

If I try to convert them, I get:

srt shift -36s500ms checkfile.srt > checkfile2.srt 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/srt", line 9, in <module>
    load_entry_point('pysrt==1.0.1', 'console_scripts', 'srt')()

    output_file.write(string_repr)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe9' in position 35: ordinal not in range(128)

The character is "é" in below string (I assume):
Oké, kom mee.

I already tried multiple iconv conversions like

iconv -f utf-8 -t utf-8 file1.srt > file2.srt
iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1 file1.srt > file2.srt
iconv -f iso-8859-1 -t utf-8 file1.srt > file2.srt

and more (nonsense) conversions, just to try. But none works.

My default python is Python 2.7.16.
When changing to python3 (3.7.3), I get
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pysrt'

And 20 minutes later ..... :(
After having downloaded the git repo, I did not uninstall the pip and pip3 installed versions correctly.
After having done that and do a sudo python3 ./setup.py install from the git repo, it installs correctly and works correctly.

Sorry for the incorrect issue.
