The problem is that the extension author used the copyright character ('©')
in the first line of the code for install.py, which is a non-ascii
character. In Python 2.x, the default encoding of source code is ascii. If
non-ascii characters are going to be used, then the encoding must be
declared, which the author did not do. In Python 3.x, the default encoding
is utf-8, so the copyright character will work.The fix is to either remove the character, or switch to Python 3.x. Or, contact the author.
