    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:

        long_description = file.read()
      File "/usr/lib/python3.5/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
        return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
    UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xd0 in position 4335: ordinal not in range(128)

However if I change the requirements to 0.5.3 it loads OK.

It appears this problem was fixed between v0.5.2 and v0.5.3.

So I think you should just be able to point to 0.5.3 in requirements.txt, as long as this doesn't break anything else.
