[Darshan-users] dxt_analyzer.py: 'invalid continuation byte' error

[Omlin Samuel]

Hi all,

I have tried the following command both on Ubuntu 16.04 (python 3.5) and on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP1 (python 3.6) and got the same error:
```
$ python3 /usr/local/bin/dxt_analyzer.py -i omlins_a.out_id1174947_10-9-40448-1694713884344482404_1602235659.darshan
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/dxt_analyzer.py", line 264, in <module>
    for line in infile:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/codecs.py", line 321, in decode
    (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xe6 in position 24: invalid continuation byte
```

With python 2.7.12 (on Ubuntu), I did not get the error, but the generated plot was empty.

Note that the input file does contain values generated by DXT:
```
$ darshan-dxt-parser omlins_a.out_id1174947_10-9-40448-1694713884344482404_1602235659.darshan | tail -3

```

Can you fix this / help me to get this working?

Thanks!!

Sam
