a bug about xrtqook

[gpeng628]

hi
I am following the instance of ''Using xrtQook for script generation'' to study how to use xrtqook. Following the steps, set beamlines and generate python script , but when I ckick '' save python script and run '' button , the xrtqook is closed .
In the command-line window ,it shows

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python39\lib\site-packages\xrt\gui\xrtQook_init_.py", line 597, in readStdOutput
output = bytes(self.qprocess.readAllStandardOutput()).decode()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xb4 in position 33: invalid start byte

I can't solve this problem,although I have tried some ways online .

Hi, could you share some details about your environment?
package manager (conda, etc.),
IDE (spyder, pycharm, smth else) and its version
"Your system" section on Qook welcome page if possible

[gpeng628]

In ''Your system'' section ,it shows
Windows-10, Python 3.9.0rc2
Qt 5.15.2, PyQt5 5.15.10
OpenGL 3.1.6
pyopencl 2023.1.4
Sphinx 7.2.6
xrt 1.6.0

I type ''python C:\Python39\lib\site-packages\xrt\gui\ xrtQookStart.pyw'' in the command-line window to start xrtqook

The fastest solution would be using winpython, it comes with most of required packages, qook should work out of the box.
In the meantime I'll try to find a workaround for your issue.

Thanks for your help ,I download the latest Winpython ,the qook works properly and the plot also works .
