Special characters in the author's name

[vaclav-2012]

The author's name contains special characters that prevent the installation on Windows with Japanese encoding.

pip raises the following error:

File "C:\Users\test\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-install-qogza7z4\dotty-dict\setup.py", line 16, in <module>
        readme = readme_file.read()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'cp932' codec can't decode byte 0x82 in position 119: illegal multibyte sequence

Hi @vaclav-2012
I've created PR where I replace Polish letters with standard Latin letters (PR #70 ).

[vaclav-2012]

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.

@vaclav-2012 I've created PR #72 to remov eit from README.rst as well. Thank you :)

[vaclav-2012]

@Dysproz Thank you for the update.

[Dysproz]

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]

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.

[Dysproz]

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

[skullydazed]

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=1 environment variable to make Python use UTF-8 as the default text encoding even on Windows.
