Description
If the `sensors` command is not available, the Python `get_sensors()` function is called instead. That function returns temperature values with "°C" appended:
https://github.com/aristocratos/bashtop/blob/60f95a1a74c8e7e589c02aa03d60141152df8337/bashtop#L4899-L4903
However, it seems that the unit is not properly removed from temperature values, causing an error on startup:
```
/usr/local/bin/bashtop: line 2151: (33°C-20)*100/(cpu[temp_high]-20) : syntax error: invalid arithmetic operator (error token is "°C-20)*100/(cpu[temp_high]-20) ")
```
This hangs bashtop in a 100% CPU loop, and a second session has to be opened to kill the process.
The error site is:

The bug is probably in the Intel CPU package temperature code (and may also exist in the AMD code too), and my guess would be that the trailing unit isn't cut off, but my bash-fu isn't good enough to figure out exactly where the issue arises.
