Failed building wheel

Issue #71 new
Simon Ho created an issue

I'm getting the following error when I try to pip install savReaderWriter

Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Simon\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pip\compat\__init__.py", line 73, in console_to_str
    return s.decode(sys.__stdout__.encoding)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xdf in position 39: invalid continuation byte

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Simon\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pip\commands\install.py", line 342, in run
    prefix=options.prefix_path,

    return s.decode('utf_8')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xdf in position 39: invalid continuation byte

I'm wondering whether the problem is because I'm using Python 3.6, or whether something else is going on?

    I have the exact same issue on Python 3.6. I created a python 3.4 virtual env in anaconda and the package was able to install successfully.
