Unicode Decode Error

[alex742]

I haven't changed anything, all I did is download and set up the code.

I checked the char and it seemed to be a whitespace so I replaced it with " ", but then I just got an error in another position. This time the char was a "3".

Any idea?

you may add encoding='utf-8' when you read a file.

For any future reader experiencing environment issues, the fix is always the same

1. switch to a unix environment (use a docker container if you have windows and use an interactive session)
2. use python 3 (python 3 default encoding is utf-8)
