I'm almost sure we got this already. If I'm not mistaken, the solution is to add the encoding line after shebang. Looking at Documentation/sphinx/maintainers_include.py (patch 2/2), the script starts with: #!/usr/bin/env python # SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 # -*- coding: utf-8; mode: python -*- # pylint: disable=R0903, C0330, R0914, R0912, E0401 But, as I pointed before, the SPDX header at the wrong place is causing the crash, as the encoding line should be the second line, not the third one, e. g.: #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8; mode: python -*- # SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 # pylint: disable=R0903, C0330, R0914, R0912, E0401 I also suspect that this would happen even with python3, depending on how LC_ALL, LANG, ... are set on the distro you use.
