ANN: snapcraft 2.0 is now available

[Woodrow Shen]

Hi,

I just tried to use snapcraft 2.0 to execute `snapcraft --help' to see
what's something new, but I got the error:

root at 5ecf6eabefb4:~# snapcraft --help
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/snapcraft", line 31, in <module>
    snapcraft.main.main()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/snapcraft/main.py", line 85, in main
    options_first=True)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/docopt.py", line 575, in docopt
    extras(help, version, argv, doc)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/docopt.py", line 481, in extras
    print(u''.join(doc))
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\u201c' in
position 343: ordinal not in range(128)

Then, I also wonder to fix that by one line in
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/docopt.py:

481         print(u''.join(doc).encode('ascii',
'ignore').decode('ascii').strip('\n'))

I'm not sure if only I encounter the case, anyone can confirm this ?
Or I could file a bug to trace the trivial problem :)
Thanks.
