Hello! I'm not a developer in this repository but I have managed to solve a similar issue doing this (applicable to your problem):

1. Follow the Exception Location and edit "codecs.py";
2. Go to line 321 (error line), where appears something like return s.decode('utf_8'). (Might not be identical);
3. Change that line to something like return s.decode('utf_8', 'ignore') (just add 'ignore').

It solved my problem though it was in a different file.

Hope it helps!

Hi! Thanks for filing this but this isn't the right place for this issue.

I think that the Django Project is the project you want to contact. Other than that, python-list or python-tutor mailing lists, #python on Freenode (IRC) or StackOverflow would be better channels to get support for the issue you're facing.

@pradyunsg users experience similar problem when installing wrapt (GrahamDumpleton/wrapt#112) and the author of wrapt claimed it's a pip problem. Would you to have a look (of that ticket)?
Thanks!

@fireattack As noted in that issue, this is fixed in the soon to be released pip 10. If you wish to confirm that, the beta of pip 10 is available now for testing.
