Hi @SizheCai, it looks like this is an error on startup?

What is the output of:

$ pip freeze

Also this exception seems to be in the xonsh code. Curious if xonsh works on your system? Here are the Windows setup instructions:

There's a section there about Unicode support on Windows that might also be helpful:
