rtcontrol "*" - 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u200b'

[ryanerwin]

There were some other tickets filed for similar issues that imply this may be solved, but I'm still unable to get it working...

• I have tried using the most recent stable pip2 install version
• I have tried using the most recent git checkout version from github
• I have tried changing the relevant instances of import os to from pyrocore.util import os

When I try to run: rtcontrol "*" I get:

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u200b' in position 32: ordinal not in range(128)

Here is the complete verbose/debug output.

`./bin/rtcontrol "*" -v --debug`

I think this also causes rtmv to fail...
