title: AWS UnicodeDecodeError when creating application on ElasticBeanstalk
body: <p>Trying to create a Python application on ElasticBeanstalk using the CLI, after I select my platform version I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Select a platform version.
  1) Python 3.4
  2) Python
  3) Python 2.7
  4) Python 3.4 (Preconfigured - Docker)
  (default is 1): 1
  ERROR: UnicodeDecodeError :: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 891: ordinal not in range(128)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I found this: <a href="https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/708" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/708</a> which makes me think maybe I pasted my AWS credentials with a newline attached. I'd like to re-enter the credentials but it seems they are cached somewhere (it asked me for them on the first install attempt but not any subsequence attempts). I do not see them in my environment vars and I have been deleting .elasticbeanstalk between attempts. Any ideas?</p>
  
  <p>update: I deleted .aws/config so it allowed me to re-enter my credentials. Still get the same error when I try to run <strong>eb init</strong></p>
  
  <p>update2: gist of --debug output can be found here: <a href="https://gist.github.com/dshuhler/8d64849021c48bf1ba71" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/dshuhler/8d64849021c48bf1ba71</a></p>
