Buildozer on MacOs high Sierra...UnicodeDecodeError

[rickdps]

Hi. I've been trying to sort this one out but unfortunately to no avail so far. I'm trying to build an apk on a macos system... high sierra in this case. I have followed the official page guide on installing buildozer. I am using python3.6.3 in a virtual environment.

What happens is when I run enything that starts with buildozer, it gives me this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/rickdps/Documents/Environment/Env36/bin/buildozer", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('buildozer==0.34.dev0', 'console_scripts', 'buildozer')()

    return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc2 in position 1665: ordinal not in range(128)

If there is any good Samaritan out there who would help this noobie programmer get to the solution, I'd really appreciate it.
