quickly

I've got a big problem with packing my quickly application for the Ubuntu App Showdown. When I try to package or submit my application, I get some warnings:

quickly package
........
----------------------------------
WARNING: syntax errors in facebook/FacebookWindow.py: encoding declaration in
Unicode string (FacebookWindow.py, line 0)

  setup.py~
----------------------------------
An error has occurred when creating debian packaging
ERROR: can't create or update ubuntu package
ERROR: package command failed
Aborting

What does the second warning mean? How do I solve those warnings? I want to submit my app to the Ubuntu App developer Showdown into my PPA and it doesn't work.

Thanks for any answer.
