UnicodeDecodeError when running command

[Tavi]

I get the following when I run a command from a dodo.py file:

Exception in thread Thread-1:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/home/utils/python/2.7.6/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 810, in __bootstrap_inner

    self.run()

  File "/home/utils/python/2.7.6/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 763, in run

    self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)

  File "/home/utils/python/2.7.6/lib/python2.7/site-packages/doit/action.py", line 142, in _print_process_output

    line = input_.readline().decode('utf-8')

  File "/home/utils/python/2.7.6/lib/python2.7/encodings/utf_8.py", line 16, in decode

    return codecs.utf_8_decode(input, errors, True)

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xa9 in position 10: invalid start byte

It seems that doit cannot handle non utf8 encoded output. In my case, the tool I am running outputs the coyright symbol to stdout.

Is there a workaround for this issue?
