Hi @vaclav-2012
I've created PR where I replace Polish letters with standard Latin letters (PR #70 ).
vaclav-2012 commentedon Dec 7, 2020
Hi @Dysproz, Thank you for making the fix. Since the error was rasied by this line it may be safer to replace the Polish letters also in the README.rst file.
Dysproz commentedon Dec 18, 2020
@vaclav-2012 I've created PR #72 to remov eit from README.rst as well. Thank you :)
vaclav-2012 commentedon Dec 18, 2020
@Dysproz Thank you for the update.

PR has been merged. May you check whether it works for you now? It is local install, isn't it? So we don't have to release immediately new package to PyPI.
vaclav-2012 commentedon Dec 22, 2020
The error appears during the installation from PyPI. Could you publish it to https://test.pypi.org for testing purposes? I can try to install the new version from https://test.pypi.org.

@pawelzny would you mind publishing it? You have the keys :)

We have some users affected by this. Would it be possible to get a new package published?

You can use
encoding="utf-8"instead of removing non ASCII character from README.See pypa/packaging.python.org#682
For workaround, you can set
PYTHONUTF8=1environment variable to make Python use UTF-8 as the default text encoding even on Windows.
