Sigil not fully launching - Embedded Python error

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Sigil on Windows 7 x64. When I try to run it, immediately I get error windows popping up, one after the other after I close each. Then finally Sigil comes up with one final small error window blank in front of it, and Sigil remains stuck in not responding.

First popup window says - Embedded Python error
Second says - Error in xmlprocessor repair XML: -2

Within those windows it says:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:/Program Files/Sigil/python3lib\xmlprocessor.py", line 5, in <module>
from sigil_bs4 import BeautifulSoup

File "C:/Program Files/Sigil/plugin_launchers/python\sigil_bs4\__init__.py", line 34, in <module>
from .builder import builder_registry, ParserRejectedMarkup

File "C:/Program Files/Sigil/plugin_launchers/python\sigil_bs4\builder\__init__.py", line 314, in <module>
from . import _htmlparser

File "C:/Program Files/Sigil/plugin_launchers/python\sigil_bs4\builder\_htmlparser.py", line 85

data = "\N{REPLACEMENT CHARACTER}"

^

SyntaxError: (unicode error) \N escapes not supported (can't load unicodedata module)

If anyone knows how to fix this please explain it like I know nothing about tweaking PCs, because that is the case. Thanks much.
