Description:

When trying to animate I get the following error:

File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 1609, in _handle_fromlist
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xff in position 0: invalid start byte

A more detailed description of the bug can be found at
https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/issues/1891

I believe that this might be a packaging bug since other distros don't seem to be affected.

Steps to reproduce:
* Get a source file that produces a matplotlib animation (this is from their website http://matplotlib.org/examples/animation/basic_example_writer.html?highlight=animate)
* Run using python 3.3.1

This only happens when trying to save the animation to a file. Perhaps a codec problem?
This task depends upon
