Python setup.py egg info error??

[danielpearceofficial]

I've tried the following to fix this: sudo apt-get install ocl-icd-libopencl1 And updating my setuptools?

Updating pip fix that so now I have this error when trying to run.

It's the Copyright sign in version.py that isn't in ASCII, so remove it

[lesinigo]

Python-3 should work correctly with UTF-8 by default, but setup.py is opening version.py as a generic text file for reading, so it could end up being opened and read as ASCII, depending on the output of locale.getpreferredencoding(False) on your system (see https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/functions.html#open) which is probably ascii on your systems.

Removing any non-ASCII character from version.py will work around the problem without fixing it, getting the opening and reading correct would fix it for good. In this specific case adding encoding="utf8" to the open() will probably be enough, but I've not tested it.
