SearX currently doesn't start up when run with Python 3 as it tries to parse the
settings.yml file with ASCII codecs.
There are similar problems with engines_languages.json and currencies.json
Python 3 requires that files with Unicode characters be read with a 'b' flag.
This also works with Python 2 and hence can be integrated into the main source
code.
Tested with the latest Python 3.6.4rc1 on Debian unstable.

The currency names are fetched wikidata and store into a static file : searx/data/currencies.json
This file is loaded when the currency_converter is loaded.
A database is perhaps more appropiated.
