What does this PR do?
Fixes(?) the issue mentioned in the last comment of #2536. On Windows, the default is not UTF-8, so some users are facing issues when using
--editable
installs. Regular wheel installs would not reproduce the problem since those do not runsetup.py
.There might still be problematic
open()
s so perhaps all of them should explicitly useencoding="utf-8"
someday.Before submitting
