Bullet points in strings in buildPDF.py cause encoding error with older versions of python

[brcaughron]

In one of the recent commits, there were a couple of print statements in buildPDF.py that added some bullet point characters.

At line 276:

      # Check the return status of the TeX version call
      if tex_which_out.returncode > 0:
         print_error("""No TeX distribution installation found, check PATH environment
Standard TeX installation locations can be found in:
  • Linux: /usr/local/texlive/2025/bin/x86_64-linux
  • macOS: /usr/local/texlive/2025/bin/x86_64-darwin
  • Windows: C:\\texlive\\2025\\bin\\win32"""
            )

and at line 435:

      # Print path to created template and exit
      if not self._quiet:
         print("""Template created in:
  • {0}
To build PDF run the following:
  • cd {0}
  • ./support/buildPDF.py {1}
""".format(tc.BLUE+structure_path+tc.ENDC,self.input_tex))

It seems that when buildPDF.py is used to build a report and your python version is recent enough, this doesn't cause an issue. However, when using a python version of 2.7.5, for example, I get this error when trying to generate a report using buildPDF.py:

 File "./support/buildPDF.py", line 280
SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe2' in file ./support/buildPDF.py on line 281, but no encoding declared; see http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0263.html for details

I confirmed replacing the bullet point characters with simple hyphens ('-') resolved the issue.
