Hey there, were you able to get this fixed? would it fix the issue by installing an odler version of python? I cant load any of the cogs

[TheDataLeek]

I've had trouble replicating this issue, I'm going to manually add the encoding on these files and that will hopefully solve it!

Let me know if you still have problems and we can reopen the issue!
