please modify line 28 in setup.py to

with open("README.md", "r", encoding='utf-8-sig') as fh:

Could you provide the exact steps you have taken to get to his issue? This helps me in finding out where the issue stems from.

[tinlokkoo]

just pip install . will cause this error. Some how, windows machine's default decoder is cp950. not utf-8. And for some file, there contains a ByteOrder Mark (BOM) which can be decode nicely with encoding='utf-8-sig'. This is a good practice to declear the file encoding if you know your encoding. So please change it.

I will look into this and see if this can be fixed in the next version.

This was fixed in the new v0.3 release (#32).
