Probable fix: add the following at the top of the file (as first line if 
there is no #! line, or immediately after that):

   # encoding: utf-8

Alternate fix, replace "•" with "\u2022" in line 465.

Explanation: '•' is a non-ASCII character.  If you build this outside of 
a build machine, it probably builds as you likely have the LANG 
environment variable set.  Unset, it defaults to US-ASCII.
