I can't reproduce the error using Python 3.5.2 on ArchLinux. From your traceback it seems to be caused by a character it couldn't decode in the CSV file. Does deleting the exploits folder and re-running the script helps?

@c0r3dump3d do you still have this problem?

@c0r3dump3d as it's been a year without any update and I can't reproduce this issue, I'm closing it. Feel free to comment and re-open it if you still have the issue after deleting the exploits folder.
