While installing pygetwindow using pip install pygetwindow I get the following error But installing pygetwindow==0.0.4 works fine.

Yeah, its a Python 2.7 problem. open function does not know encoding in 2.7 Workaround: download source, open setup.py, change with open('README.md', 'r', encoding='utf-8') to with open('README.md', 'r') and

python setup.py egg_info
python setup.py install
