Re: Strange encoding problem in setup.py of biopython 1.71

Hi Andreas,

here, the culprit is
U+2019 : RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK {single comma quotation mark}
that is used as an apostrophe in two places in "Apple's".

I found this by looking for 0xe2 (from your error message) in an hexdump
(od -A d -xc README.rst |less ) at the named position (7116).

Cheers
Klaus
