Error upgrading to 0.5.0

[John Haley]

When trying to upgrade to 0.5.0 I'm getting the following output:

Collecting pyemd
  Using cached pyemd-0.5.0.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-build-odst_5et/pyemd/setup.py", line 87, in <module>
        README = f.read()
      File "/srv/.pyenv/versions/3.6.3/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 0xc3 in position 2247: ordinal not in range(128)

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-odst_5et/pyemd/

Seems like there's an issue with decoding a file. Shouldn't unicode be used instead of ascii? Is this an issue with my system configuration?

Thanks!

I checked what encoding python3 is using on my system and this is what I get:

root@9cb226d9f4f0:/root# python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.stdin.encoding, sys.stdout.encoding)'
utf-8 utf-8
root@9cb226d9f4f0:/root# python3 -c 'import sys; print(sys.getdefaultencoding())'
utf-8

Thanks for the report. I remember something similar happening with a previous release. It must be system-specific, since I don't have this issue on my machines and the Travis build checks out. But in any case, a quick fix would be to remove the non-ASCII character from line 81 of the README and push a new release.

I pushed what I think is a fix—since I can't reproduce this, would you try installing from the develop branch with pip install --upgrade "git+https://github.com/wmayner/pyemd.git"?

[John Haley]

It's fixed! 🎉

[William Mayner]

Fixed in v0.5.1.
