8 months ago From what I understand from the error message and looking into astmonkey's setup.py: this is a problem, the Pynguin developers cannot do anything for you. It's a problem between your Windows system and the setup.py provided by astmonkey (which is executed to install that package, a dependency of Pynguin). Windows assumes the file to be encoded with the cp950 encoding (which is traditional Chinese, from what an internet search tells me); the setup.py seems to contain some Unicode characters, probably in UTF-8 encoding. Windows seems to fail to use the correct decoder, which causes this error.
I don't know anything about Windows, probably one can change some settings there. Alternatively, ask the astmonkey developers for advice, or try to install Pynguin on a proper operating system, i.e., Linux/macOS/BSD/... These days, Windows provides some Linux subsystem, which seems like a natural choice, although I don't know about that, either. I've only heard from users that installing Pynguin in that Linux subsystem works.

Please tell me how to deal with and solve it?
