UnicodeDecodeError: 'unicodeescape' codec can't decode byte 0x5c

The same error occurs on Ubuntu 12.04 x64 as well.

Hi. Thanks for your report.

It looks like there is a dangling "\" character at the end of some string 
somewhere.

Most "UnicodeDecode" errors should have been fixed in the current master branch.
I am however not sure if I have seen this specific one directly related to 
"unicodeescape". Maybe it is related to your Python version?

Which version of Python are you running under?

The revision above hopefully fixes it. Ignoring the failed decode should be an 
acceptable solution in this case.

Is the fix in 0.2.2 already? Can I use it?

The fix is pushed up to the master branch. You will have to check out the 
master branch to use it. I will make a new release eventually.
