Can't install on Korean Windows

[sftblw]

on running command : pip3 install mastodon-archive,

• Windows 10, Korean
• Korean defaults to CP949 on Windows cmd.exe
• I changed code page to 65001 (unicode) before installing by typing chcp 65001
• admin privileged cmd.exe shows same error message

I guess It will happen on CJK Windows too, but not tested in Chinese, Japanese windows

Thanks for the screenshot. I’ll take a look.

A few suggestions:

• try running it from powershell instead of cmd;
• try code page 850 instead of 65001.

@BartG95 Thank you but nothing worked.

[kensanata]

The code looks correct... Perhaps you can try it interactively by simply starting python3 and typing it? Like this, for example:

~/src/mastodon-archive$ python3
Python 3.7.3rc1 (default, Mar 13 2019, 11:01:15) 
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> with open("README.md", "r", encoding="utf-8") as fh:
...     long_description = fh.read()
... 
>>> print(len(long_description))
25939

This would allow us to understand whether this is a problem in Python, or a problem in the code used to install the project.

so This looks like already fixed by #38 but not released yet. (1.1.0 is before #38 be merged).

[BartG95]

Ah, of course. I assumed the current version included that patch already. Indeed, this is seems to be the solution. Thanks for reporting the bug and its solution 👍. @kensanata can you make a 1.2.0 release?

[kensanata]

Done!
