I am trying to install python packages from github. Whenever I try to install any package I get error "UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 1: invalid start byte". I have tried looking for answers to similar problems but no luck. I will be grateful for any help regarding this issue.

You can't install a package by using:
pip install https://github.com/Theano/Theano Instead you should use:
pip install git+git://github.com/Theano/Theano.git if you want to install from Github. If you want to install the package from PyPI you should use:
pip install Theano

pythoniesta
The installation method used is the same as mentioned in "stackoverflow.com/questions/7322334/…" and I succeeded in installing it before but now it is not working. One thing that I should have mentioned earlier is I am using anaconda ver 2.1.
0x8bcomes from the gzip header:1F 8B 08. Something is missing the fact that this is gzip-compressed data.
