I've tried with 0.9.1 and I'm getting the same error. The error message makes sense too: In `_run_parsechangelog` one finds ``` self._contents.encode() ``` which fails in Python 2 if `self._contents` contains a non-ascii character. (Reproducable with `'ö'.encode()`.)
Position 399 in the error message ``` UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 399: ordinal not in range(128) ``` also refers to an "ö". I would hence vote for reopening this bug.
