Python 2.7 pip install fails with "Illegal byte sequence" #41

Closed zevix closed 6 years ago

zevix commented 6 years ago

ConEmu build: 180626 x64 OS version: Windows 10 x64 Used shell version: CMD

Python 2.7's pip fails when CMD runs under ConEmu:

C:\Users\zeev.kotzer>pip install Kivy --upgrade
Collecting Kivy
Downloading https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/f7/98/d74b2c19eb28dcf36450c979c19676741891ca8 a54af0a7069e445552663/Kivy-1.10.1-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl (4.3MB)
1% |Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 42] Illegal byte sequence

This can be worked around by adding "--progress-bar off", but inconvenient, and problematic for novice users ...

I dont understand your issue. This is a jekyll webpage for a workshop that is strictly python 3 since the first workshop in 2012.

Can you elaborate why you opened this issue?
