"Python 2 uses ascii as the default encoding for source files, which means you must specify another encoding at the top of the file to use non-ascii unicode characters in literals. Python 3 uses utf-8 as the default encoding for source files, so this is less of an issue"

I was able to find this by googling "Python error 'Non ascii characters'" From my understanding this is a good answer

How to make the python interpreter correctly handle non-ASCII characters in string operations?

hope this helps (I am new to coding and was looking into this to help my own understanding of how to avoid this problem for myself. Take what I have to say with a grain of salt.)

  • @SaddamHk Hmm I ran it with no problem. Did you change /full/path/bingo.sh to the actually location on your file system? – badger0053 Jan 12 '17 at 05:51
