UnicodeDecodeError in posixpath on ipython==5.1.0

[lefterisnik]

I have run pip-compile with python 2.7 and it failed with the above error:

pip-compile -o base.txt base.in
No handlers could be found for logger "pip.req.req_install"

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc6 in position 27: ordinal not in range(128)

the base.in file looks like:

...
django-bootstrap3==7.0.1
Django==1.10.5
djangorestframework-jwt==1.8.0
djangorestframework==3.4.6
icalendar==3.10
ipython==5.1.0
...

Any ideas?

This looks very much like a duplicate of #433

[mhluongo]

@byjott It does look similar, but your fix for #433 isn't working (at least in our fork)

[vphilippon]

Should be fixed by #568, closing.
