panzer won't start install due to Unicode error

[halloleo]

After

git clone https://github.com/msprev/panzer
cd panzer
python3 setup.py install

I get

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 5, in <module>
    readme_text = file.read()
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.3/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/lib/python3.4/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
    return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 127: ordinal not in range(128)

Any setting in the python3 package system needed?

Many thanks,
Leo

Thanks for catching this! I believe it was a unicode error in setup.py. You probably have your python3 default encoding set to something other than 'utf8'. I've pushed a fix now. It should install if you pull the latest version. Let me know if it doesn't.

Mmmmh. I did:

$ git pull

Where do I check what's my python3 default coding?

[msprev]

Strange... What do you get if you type this into the terminal prompt?

python3
import sys
sys.getdefaultencoding()

[msprev]

I've pushed another change that should fix it. I believe the encoding are all being correctly handled in setup.py. Please give it a try and let me know if it doesn't work.

[halloleo]

For sys.getdefaultencoding() I get:

utf-8

The install goes with the newest commit further, but still gives an error for me:

Sorry to be a pain with this! But I like the idea of panzer, so I really would like to try it...

[msprev]

Thanks. My 2 previous commits had clobbered each other and caused it to erroneously try to do a double utf8 decoding. I've just pushed a fix, that should -- fingers crossed -- resolve your problem.

[halloleo]

Thanks heaps. Works now.

[msprev]

Great! Thank you for catching this bug for me.
