I see that decoding errors are common with pip but I can't apply any solutions proposed here and here to my problem.
I have a Raspberry Pi (4.4.11-v7+). When I try to upgrade a package with pip install <module> --upgrade I get this error
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa0 in position 348: invalid start byte
with
Traceback (most recent call last):

I am not sure on how to intervene on line 24 to resolve the encoding issue though.
