Python script utf-8 issue

I try to use this python text-to-speech converter to convert Greek into mp3. Git says utf-8 is supported but when I try to translate text like "Γεια σου" it throws an error as shown below:

What I type on cmd: gtts-cli.py "Γεια σου" -l el -o hi.mp3
What I get:

'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xf4 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Any ideas?

Update:

I added utf-8 support as shown below. I even updated to python3. Still getting a similar error...

'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 0: invalid continuation byte

What I added:

text = args.text.decode('utf-8')

Any ideas?
