LookupError: unknown encoding: 'unicode'

[CABowers]

When running on windows the error "LookupError: unknown encoding: 'unicode'" is thrown on line 226 of selector.py. This happened when scrapping from a webpage.

A quick fix for me was to change 'unicode' to 'utf8' on line 226 of selector.py

What is your lxml version?

I had 2.2.8 not 3.6.4, I updated and that also fixed the problem.
