If using Python 2.x, you can comment this offending line:

# config = config.decode('ascii')

in easy_install.py (near line 1510):

# Now the config is in bytes, but on Python 3, it must be
#  unicode for the RawConfigParser, so decode it. Is this the
#  right encoding?
config = config.decode('ascii')
cfg.readfp(StringIO(config))
