Comment (by guano):

 Searching for this error I found it to be quite common with python2 code
 being ported to python3, as with python3 all strings are unicode.

 {{{
 >>> b'\x9c'.decode('cp1252')
 'œ'
 >>> b'\x9c'.decode('utf8')
 Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
 UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x9c in position 0:
 invalid start byte
 }}}
