Python 3 installation works fine, though. The installation command I used was:

python2 setup.py install --root="$pkgdir" -O1

@szaghi unrelated and duplicate #586. I’m fixing it right now.

The build path is right under /build/python-pybuilder/src/pybuilder-0.11.12-py2, which should not contain non-ascii characters.

Python 2.7.14. I am packaging pybuilder for Arch Linux, and this error was not present in 0.11.10. We don’t usually use pip here, I’ll try.
