7 years ago Likely an encoding issue with some file in your project meeting python's open() function. My guess is when zappa was looking at the file it detected cp1252 encoding, and then encountered another character outside of that encoding. If you have a python file with at least two encodings it is gonna struggle. Similar thing happening here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18654116/3046938

Welcome to Zappa!
Zappa is a system for running server-less Python web applications on AWS Lambda and AWS API Gateway. This
initcommand will help you create and configure your new Zappa deployment. Let's get started!Your Zappa configuration can support multiple production stages, like 'dev', 'staging', and 'production'. What do you want to call this environment (default 'dev'):
AWS Lambda and API Gateway are only available in certain regions. Let's check to make sure you have a profile set up in one that will work. Okay, using profile default!
Your Zappa deployments will need to be uploaded to a private S3 bucket. If you don't have a bucket yet, we'll create one for you too. What do you want call your bucket? (default 'zappa-3fj5iaoad'):
It looks like this is a Flask application. Oh no! An error occurred! :(
