Currently, installing OpenFermion on Windows with Python 3 (have not checked on Py2) fails due to a decoding error in the opening of README.rst for the long description:
Thanks! We'll look into this. Unfortunately because the electronic structure package dependancies (Psi4 and PySCF) are only supported on mac and linux, we do not yet fully support Windows. For those running on Windows we would recommend using the Docker installation.
However, it is nice to know that the core library installs at all on Windows! This does seem like a fairly easy issue to address.
That should probably be mentioned in the readme then. Having been doing open source quantum stuff for a while now, I know that Windows support is kind of a requirement for wide acceptance. Sadly, it is also a pain in the butt.
