SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with '\xcf' in file gyb on line 1

Using GYB 1.0 on Mac OS 10.11.6 with Python 3.5.2 installed.

In Terminal, I entered the command:

python3 gyb --email [e-mail] --action estimate using my email address. (I did’nt use gyb.py as that returned a “No such file” error.)

I received the following error message:

File "gyb", line 1
SyntaxError: Non-UTF-8 code starting with '\xcf' in file gyb on line 1, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details

+1, I’m experiencing this exact issue as well on OS X 10.10.5 and Python 2.7.10.

EDIT sorry, I’m dumb and I need a few days off. Assuming the current directory is that where gyb is located, the way to get it to work is to:

chmod +x gyb

and then changing the command line to:

./gyb --email [e-mail] --action estimate

If this is the actual way to do it, though, the Wiki would need to be fixed.

@amandelman would you mind giving this a shot and reporting back?
