Cannot install through pip or locally because of setup.py

[Wigder]

When attempting to install:

Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "C:\Users\ser\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-req-build-jkgwiajx\setup.py", line 8, in <module> readme = f.read() File "C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0] UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8d in position 661: character maps to <undefined>

Fixed by changing the following lines from setup.py:

with open('README.md'') as f:
    readme = f.read()
with open('LICENSE') as f:
    license = f.read()

To the following:

with open('README.md', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    readme = f.read()
with open('LICENSE', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    license = f.read()

Python ver is 3.6.8

This is on Windows by the way - I realise now that this package is really difficult to install on Windows due to the C dependencies.

I run into the same issue, it seems that one of the dependencies is deprecated, I'm not sure which one but if I would guess I would say it has to do with NumPy API.
