ultrafunkamsterdam commented 4 years ago

This small addition fixes the following problem

After trying installing using pip install git+https://github.com/Arg0s1080/mrz

# only relevant part of traceback

 long_description = readme.read()
      File "c:\program files\python38\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode
        return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
    UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 1545: character maps to <undefined>

Hi!

I use Linux as the usual platform. Honestly i have never used setup.py on windows.

I promise to check it as soon as i can.

Regards and thank you very much

I'm sorry. I have very little free time now. After testing your changes on Windows and Linux using:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/Arg0s1080/mrz

I have only verified that it does not give errors, so it is approved. However, I still don't understand where the error is. I'd also like to try using encoding="utf8" kwarg instead errors="ignore".

Out of curiosity what encoding do you use when that error occurs?

Thanks a lot
