Installing package with pip on Windows threw error, same with compiling from source. I traced it and apparently UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x8f in position 315: character maps to <undefined>
was caused by the unicode emojis in README.rst, so I deleted them and it compiled successfully.
