Unicode encode error with anaconda

[jkscg317]

Using win 7 latest release of anaconda and python. this is the error i get when running one of your examples:

File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\DB\untitled0.py", line 20, in bar() # call after consuming one item

File "C:\Users\User\Anaconda3\lib\contextlib.py", line 120, in exit next(self.gen)

What do you mean, "latest version of python"?

That could be 3.7.x, 3.8.x, 3.9.x.

Hey @jkscg317, I have a very similar ticket #15 on Linux'es, this only occurs on Windows. I'm not sure what could cause this. What does your system report with this:

import sys
sys.getdefaultencoding()

[jkscg317]

Running python 3.8.

utf-8

Humm, if your system does use utf-8, why would your anaconda try to encode it with cp1252??? 🤔

Closing this one, in favor of #15.
