Hello,

I stand to be corrected but I think it's something to do with the encoding:

encoding  = 'ISO-8859-15'

You might try instead:

encoding  = 'UTF-8'

As per the 2nd post. Hopefully it solves the problem. The recipe following this change would therefore be:

__license__  = 'GPL v3'
__copyright__ = "2008, Derry FitzGerald. 2009 Modified by Ray Kinsella and David O'Callaghan, 2011 Modified by Phil Burns, 2013 Modified by O. O'H"
