which originated from binary2strings whcih is a dependency for the flare-floss package
i tried to install pip install binary2strings and got the same error

tried it on two computers, with windows11 and windows 10, both python 3.12 and python3.11, same result
and i used both cmd, PowerShell and the terminal of pycharm (also PS, in venv)

i prefer not to downgrade further, hoping anyone has a soltuion
thanks in advance!

[glmcdona]

Thanks for the report, will have a look into it.

[glmcdona]

Note, that I've tried to replicate it unsuccessfully here so far. On Windows 11 I created a anaconda environment on python 3.13, and pip install binary2strings works correctly. Must be some build tool difference (maybe a compiler difference?). Will keep investigating...

Thank you for looking in to it, I'm really looking up to using your lib!

If any information is needed about my environment or python version etc, I will be happy to provide.

[glmcdona]

Thanks! It seems the error is in setuptools for a character decode error on maybe a multilingual character. My best guess is that the long-description of my package containing multi-lingual characters is breaking setuptools, since I do include some mandarin utf-8 characters in the long description of the project:

binary2strings/setup.py

Line 30 in 02f0c98

long_description = fh.read()

Could you list your package versions by any chance? Curious what version of setuptools you are using. pip freeze

yes! sorry for the delayed response

this is for my venv, its quite a mess as im just using it to explore stuff

[GeneriicName]

Hello, I don't mean to be a bother, but if you have any update in the matter I'd love to know :-)

And thank you very much for looking into it, I appriacate it!

[glmcdona]

@GeneriicName, your setuptools looks good. Curious, what language is your OS?

I'm not able to reproduce the error locally, but I created a branch that may fix the issue if my hunch is right. By any chance could you try checking out branch glmcdona/test_multilingual_fix, and installing it using pip install .? Full set of commands should be:

git clone https://github.com/glmcdona/binary2strings
cd binary2strings
git checkout glmcdona/test_multilingual_fix
pip install .

Thanks!

[GeneriicName]

that worked perfectly, thnk you very much!!

and my OS lang is hebrew, maybe thats the root of the issue

anyways, thanks alot, i really do appricate it!

[glmcdona]

Great, glad it fixed it! My best guess is the OS language is breaking it somehow. Odd that it's an international edition of Windows that breaks because of multi-lingual characters in the package description (Chinese Mandarin characters in project description). I'll publish a new version where it doesn't have the multi-lingual characters in the package description.
