Running pyzm master branch as of 2f3d711 with ZM 1.38.0

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x98 in position 0: invalid start byte

I honestly have no real idea how to troubleshoot this...

Ok, I think an acceptable fix is to just update ZMMemory.py with sed -i "s/.decode()/.decode(errors='replace')/g"

Will report back in a couple of days...
