There is a problem with the script, however at the point of the above
error, the user had already been added and it is only in formatting the
name and address for printing in the 'Added :' message that the error
occurs.

I think you can simply change line 289 of sync_members to

                s = email.Utils.formataddr((name, addr))

to avoid this problem. Please try that and report.
