UnicodeDecodeError while installing for Python3.3 about pymc2 HOT 11 OPEN

I fixed it by setting the LANG environment variable(s):

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

But it might be nice to get it working without that...

when I install pymc in windows platform use “pip install pymc", it will report this error:

 File "c:\Python34\lib\site-packages\numpy\f2py\crackfortran.py", line 336, in readfortrancode
    l=fin.readline()
  File "c:\Python34\lib\fileinput.py", line 363, in readline
    self._buffer = self._file.readlines(self._bufsize)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0xa1 in position 6844: illegal multibyte sequence

from pymc2.

Happens for pymc==2.3.2 thru pymc==2.3.6, for Python 3.4 and 3.3. Python 2.7 installs ok.

from pymc2.

Can you post the code that generates this error? I'd like to try to replicate it here.

Just pip install pymc (in a Python 3.3/3.4 virtualenv, or use pip-3.4, or whatever is available in your env to pip install for a particular python version...)

from pymc2.

I can't replicate this with Anaconda Python 3.3 in a virtualenv:

I'm on Ubuntu. I think it's fairly consistent, not something to do with my setup. I can repro it in a minimal dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:trusty
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y python3-dev python3-pip 
RUN apt-get install -y python3-numpy python3-matplotlib
RUN pip3 install pymc

from pymc2.

Here's the full output from the minimal repro run: http://pastebin.com/9SEww4CT

We do have a .cfg file for Debian installs. Would it work to put these there?

Ran into the same issue myself on a Mac (10.11) using Python 3.5. hjwp's environment variable fix worked for me to successfully install. pymc-devs/pymc#62 (comment)

from pymc2.

#62 (comment) did't work for me. I got the same error:
UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0xa1 in position 6844: illegal multibyte sequence
