New submission from E. Paine <paineeli...@gmail.com>:
When compiling the master branch (i.e. running 'make'), I get a
UnicodeDecodeError as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 4210:
invalid start byte
The problematic file it is trying to read is /usr/include/OMX_Other.h which is
part of the libomxil-bellagio package (a copy of this package can be downloaded
from
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/libomxil-bellagio/download/).
More specifically, there are several characters in the comments which cannot be
decoded correctly (the first of these is on line 93).
The fix is a very simple one and is just to add errors='replace' to line 244 of
setup.py (I cannot see this having any ill-effects).
I couldn't find who to nosy for this so apologies about that.
