decoding issue during pip install on Windows

Hi Folks,

Just a quick issue, if you are attempting to install the st2sdk on windows via pip install st2sdk you get the following error

C:\Python36_64\Scripts>pip install st2sdk Collecting st2sdk Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/9f/82/3dd9bd7ce48e405d1ac78d0098a4fec52f00672a10d5e3505251a7ad7b4f/st2sdk-0.2.0.tar.gz Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "C:\Users\cy\AppData\Local\Temp\1\pip-install-3j4y5kao\st2sdk\setup.py", line 47, in long_description=open('README.rst').read(), File "c:\python36_64\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 0x9d in position 1032: character maps to

----------------------------------------

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in C:\Users\cy\AppData\Local\Temp\1\pip-install-3j4y5kao\st2sdk\

I ended up downloading the tar.gz and manually adding replacing the following line in Setup.py (line 47)

long_description=open('README.rst').read(),

with

long_description=open('README.rst', encoding='utf-8').read(),

Thanks for reporting this.

I will work on a fix and push a new version to PyPi shortly :)

EDIT: I noticed you are trying to install it using Python 3 - this will require a bit more work since encoding parameter is not available in the open function in Python 2.

23 should fix this issue.

I also added some tests / checks which will automatically catch some of the Python 3 related issues in the future.

Thanks again for reporting this.

I merged fixes and tests in #23 and pushed new version to PyPi (0.3.1).

I confirmed installation now works under Python 3 on Linux (I don't have quick access to Windows machine here at the moment).
