Error when installing the package

[Jaime02]

I get this error while installing the module:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>pip install vg

Hi! Thanks for the report. I haven't used this on Windows; any idea what the problem might be? I'd be happy to accept a pull request :)

I have no experience working with files and encodig, but the problem seems to be the file encoding. Maybe this links can help:

It looks like that fix doesn't work in Python 2. Am I right that you're using Python 3?

[Jaime02]

Yes, I am using Python 3.7. Do you want to keep using both versions?

[paulmelnikow]

Yea, new releases of this library will support Python 2 until the deprecation in January.

[paulmelnikow]

If I push a branch could you check it out and run python setup.py install on Windows?

[Jaime02]

Sure, I am here for helping you. I will check it.
Edit: My commit passed the python 2 test, why it did not show the error?

[paulmelnikow]

Not sure! Seems well documented that the encoding parameter doesn't exist in Python 2…

Released in 1.2.2!
