Install fails due to decoding error on python2

[flazzarini]

This issue has already been reported by #40, however I am still having the issue to install moin==1.9.10 on a python2 Virtual Environment on Ubuntu 16.04. Commit 4a708cd49630b56a54e14072ee52140713b283d7 has been merged onto master but hasn't been released yet.

If I download the tarball for version 1.9.10 the UTF-8 Character is still present in the setup.cfg and setup.py.

As already mentioned in ticket #40 here the output I get when trying to install moin==1.9.10 in a python2 virtual environment.

$ ./env/bin/pip install moin==1.9.10

It's not a utf-8 byte sequence (the utf-8 decoder would not fail if it was one).

I suspect it is iso-8859-1.

[ThomasWaldmann]

And the problem was already fixed, see #40

TODO: make a new release to get the fix out.

[ThomasWaldmann]

@flazzarini i've done some upgrades to master branch, can you test?

[ThomasWaldmann]

closing this due to #40. a release with this might also come rather soon.
