# make install

Nothing to do with Python 3 itself, it had to do with setting the LANG
environment variable, which I learned from here.
I had a similar problem on my Windows (Python3):
e:\Project\Python\github\Pymacs>make install
python pppp -C ppppconfig.py Pymacs.py.in pppp.rst.in pymacs.el.in pymacs.rst.in contrib tests

I solved this by adding encoding='utf8'
to every open()
in pppp
Thank you @fd3kyt
by the way
open(value, encoding='utf8')
open(output, 'w', encoding='utf8')
On a current Arch Linux system installed today (September 7th 2015), the LANG environment variable no longer works. The only thing that did was editing pppp to add the encoding
kwarg as indicated by @fd3kyt
