Yes, but in future, please direct such bug reports to the place where you got 
the package. They will need to fix it and put out a fixed version

The solution is to add a coding line to the python source file, to tell python 
which encoding is used for the text. Edit the file, and add

# -*- coding: iso-8859-15

as the first line. You'll have to do that for gypsy.py as well

The reason is that python defaults to ASCII encoding starting in python 2.5 
(as explained on the web site mentioned in the error message)
