Hi, Problem seems to be in README.md file that has some bad characters. I was able to install it with little workaround without looking for bad character. Download latest package from: https://pypi.org/project/astmonkey/#files. Untar package with: tar -zxvf astmonkey-0.3.6.tar.gz Modify setup.py with these two steps:

1. Remove these lines: with open('README.rst') as f: long_description = f.read()
2. Modify this line: long_description="Here should be description",

Now remove old .tar.gz and create new one with modified file: tar cvfz astmonkey-0.3.6.tar.gz astmonkey-0.3.6/ Install new package with pip: pip install astmonkey-0.3.6.tar.gz

And thats it :)
