Non-ASCII characters in README.rst

[moubctez]

Building fails with Python 3.6 (UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 6553: ordinal not in range(128)) because there are non-ASCII characters in README.rst.

This patch fixes the problem

I bumped into the same problem. Below the way to reproduce the issue:

1. Firstly you may have to unset LANG environment variable - as if it is set to something that handles UTF8 characters, then you will not be able to reproduce the issue:

   unset LANG

2. Then clone parameterized master branch and try to build it:

   python setup.py build

   Result:

   $ python -V
   Python 3.6.9
   $ unset LANG
   $ python setup.py build
   Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "setup.py", line 11, in <module>
   long_description = open("README.rst", "U").read()
   File "/Users/xxx/.virtualenvs/parameterized/lib/python3.6/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
   return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
   UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 5997: ordinal not in range(128)

   I am NOT able to reproduce that issue on Python:

   • 2.7.17
   • 3.7.5
   • 3.8.0

Also the workaround for the issue is to set LANG environment variable:

1. On mac:

   export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

2. On Ubuntu:

   export LANG=C.UTF-8

Fixed in 0.7.3!

Thanks @wolever, I just double checked on v0.7.3 and I am NOT able to reproduce the issue anymore! :) Thank you!
