I need more information in order to investigate this problem:

What operating system are you using?
Are you installing into a virtualenv, a user context, or systemwide?
Please tell me the exact sequence of commands you gave in order to install mecab-python3.
Please show the complete and unedited output of the printenv command in the environment where you tried to install mecab-python3.

Also, we are preparing a new release that has fixed many bugs. If you have time, please try the new wheels from https://test.pypi.org/project/mecab-python3/0.996.2rc2/ .

Operating system is Windows 8.1 profession. And i wanted to install mecab-python3 using virtualenv environment. After many attempts, it could not work anyway, and i gived up, then used another package -- "mecab-python-windows", and it worked! Thanks to this package, it make my job work!

Thanks your response and help any way!

Oh. Indeed, this package is not prepared to work on Windows yet. I'm surprised this manifested as a UnicodeDecodeError when running setup.py but that's probably not important right now.

Thank you for telling me about mecab-python-windows, I may be able to reuse some of their tooling.
