 looks like the problem is in proxy.py  
+ml = _IkiWikiExtPluginXMLRPCHandler._read(in_fd).decode('utf8')  
+
+without decode('utf8') is working
+
+> That call was introduced
+> [[to fix a bug under Python 2|bugs/crashes_in_the_python_proxy_even_if_disabled]]
+> so it cannot just be removed, but I've put a proposed branch on
+> [[this related bug|bugs/pythonproxy-utf8_again]]. [[!tag patch]] --smcv

+tested and fixed with patch [http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki.git/commitdiff/38bd51bc1bab0cabd97dfe3cb598220a2c02550a](http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki.git/commitdiff/38bd51bc1bab0cabd97dfe3cb598220a2c02550a) and patch [http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki.git/commitdiff/81506fae8a6d5360f6d830b0e07190e60a7efd1c](http://git.pseudorandom.co.uk/smcv/ikiwiki.git/commitdiff/81506fae8a6d5360f6d830b0e07190e60a7efd1c)
