Can't install sendgrid via setup.py script in Docker image ubuntu 16.04

[DannyLee12]

Issue Summary

When installing sendgrid on python 3.6.1 Ubuntu 16.04 in a docker image it throws this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 192: ordinal not in range(128)

I have taken out all other packages. All other packages install without an issue.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a file setup.py that looks like this:

from setuptools import setup, find_packages

setup(
    name='sg_test',
    packages=find_packages(),
    install_requires=[
        'sendgrid',
    ],
    zip_safe=False
)

2. Run this dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:16.04
RUN apt update
RUN apt install build-essential checkinstall -y
RUN apt install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev -y
RUN wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.1/Python-3.6.1.tar.xz
RUN tar xvf Python-3.6.1.tar.xz
WORKDIR Python-3.6.1
RUN ./configure
RUN make
RUN make altinstall
RUN curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3.6

ADD setup.py /code/

WORKDIR /code

RUN python3.6 -m pip install -U pip
RUN python3.6 -m pip install -U setuptools
RUN python3.6 setup.py install

I assume that this is to do with your setup.py I can take a look as well.

Technical details:

• sendgrid-python Version: master (latest commit: [commit number])
• Python Version: 3.6.1

Hi @DannyLee12,

Thanks for taking the time to report this!

I have added this to our backlog for review. Perhaps in the meantime, a fix will come via hacktoberfest :)

With Best Regards,

Elmer

I am not 100% sure, but it looks like maybe the local encoding setting could be set to something other than UTF-8? Based on this:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23917729/switching-to-python-3-causing-unicodedecodeerror

[DannyLee12]

@mbernier python3 supports utf-8 as the default. I'm not setting it anywhere else.

Perhaps this is an issue with docker more than an issue with sendgrid. But all of the other packages that I have tested do install correctly.

in my debugging, the issue appears to be in the exec(code, globals, locals) line.

However, testing the exec command in version works as expected in my docker file. So I don't know if somewhere else in setup.py the default encoding isn't set to ascii?

I'd like to give this a try, if possible 😃

[akram-rameez]

@DannyLee12 I tried installing the setup.py you provided with the official python3 image, and it worked perfectly. Can I know exactly why you're trying to use the ubuntu 16.04 image?

I did face some problems installing the Dockerfile you provided, but my issues arose while installing python3, and much before installing sendgrid.

I'll keep you updated on my findings.

@akram-rameez Thank you!!

@DannyLee12, hitting you up for feedback just in case you didn't see Akram's note.
