How can we work around this error? If we set uid to a fixed number it doesn't work and with caffe.NCCL.new_uid() we get the following error:

uid = caffe.NCCL.new_uid()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa9 in position 17: invalid start byte

Any help highly appreciated!

Steps to reproduce

Run train.py

uid = caffe.NCCL.new_uid()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xa9 in position 17: invalid start byte
