[BUG] Unable to run zippy -h

[vivekprajapati2048]

I want to implement this repository. I cloned it on my windows machine and followed Readme.md file for the installation using pip3. However, after successful installation, I ran into following error while trying to run zippy -h:

(venv) C:\Users\HP\PycharmProjects\zippy>zippy -h

UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81 in position 54323: character maps to <undefined>

Can you please let me know if there is any step which I am missing?

Thank you @vivekprajapati2048 for reporting this. It appears that I need to explicitly set a character encoding when reading files. I will make a couple fixes and ping you shortly to retest.
