Mailing List Archive: 3.8.5 Failing To Install With pythonz

I have a weird problem I could use a bit of help with ...

I have successfully installed 3.8.5 using pew/pythonz on a BSD FreeBSD system.
But when I attempt to install it on a Linux system I get the traceback below.
In this case, pew/pythonz were installed locally in my own account using system
native python 3.6:

Ideas anyone?

FTR, '\u2018' is the codepoint 'LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK'.

Try reporting it on the project's homepage. It looks like there have
been similar problems before, but not this one.
