UnicodeEncodeError

[crkrenn]

@rehandalal,

Thanks very much for writing sort-requirements.!

I just tried to use it on a windows laptop under and got a strange UnicodeEncodeError on two different packages.

Do you have any advice on how to debug this?

Thanks!

$ sort-requirements.exe  requirements.txt

Seems like there might be a strange character in your requirements file. Would you be able to share the file you are trying to process?

Thanks very much for the response! I think it is a windows issue.

If you care, it seems to be a problem with git-bash and anaconda. Using sort-requirements in windows power shell works fine.

I really wish I was not forced to switch from mac to windows!

Glad that worked out!
