Utf-8 codec error

Hi

I receive the following error running a simple current data code.


def initialize(context):
    context.run_once = False
    context.security = symbol('AAPL')

def handle_data(context, data):
    print(get_datetime().strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z"))
    print(data.current(context.security, 'price'))
   # print ("SPY ask_price=", show_real_time_price(symbol('SPY'), 'ask_price'))

If you are using Windows, go to “Windows Settings” –> “Region & Language”. Then change region to “United States” and language to “English”.
