Questions {❓}

• Already have an account?
• And that leads me to wonder, does it really need to fail fast and hard here, or just be noisy?
• But why can't things just work?
• How does this approach strike you?
• I don't see much point in sending users off to google what this problem with UnicodeDecodeError and what's the accepted workaround ("oh, so I have to set this environment variable and then it works?
• I mean, what's the benefit from that virtual legwork?
• Thoughts?

      articleBody:My ubuntu has an egg-info that pkg_resources fails to read with a UnicodeDecodeError. This made all sorts of things fail in my virtual environment. ``` > git clone https://github.com/pypa/setuptools ... > cd setuptools/ > python -c "import pkg_resources" Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2964, in <module> @_call_aside File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2950, in _call_aside f(*args, **kwargs) File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2977, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 626, in _build_master ws = cls() File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 619, in __init__ self.add_entry(entry) File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 675, in add_entry for dist in find_distributions(entry, True): File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 1988, in find_on_path path_item, entry, metadata, precedence=DEVELOP_DIST File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2376, in from_location py_version=py_version, platform=platform, **kw File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2717, in _reload_version md_version = _version_from_file(self._get_metadata(self.PKG_INFO)) File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2341, in _version_from_file line = next(iter(version_lines), '') File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2509, in _get_metadata for line in self.get_metadata_lines(name): File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 1879, in get_metadata_lines return yield_lines(self.get_metadata(name)) File "pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 1869, in get_metadata metadata = f.read() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/codecs.py", line 296, in decode (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb6 in position 147: invalid start byte in /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/rpl-1.5.5.egg-info ``` The problematic egg-info file is attached, with an added extension (txt) to fool github into accepting the attachment. [rpl-1.5.5.egg-info.txt](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/files/401454/rpl-1.5.5.egg-info.txt) This is with python 2.7.2 and setuptools aad4a6913d3e505064c76322d20756909724c411. To make my virtualenv work properly, I had to patch pkg_resources/**init**.py, replacing the line: ``` md_version = _version_from_file(self._get_metadata(self.PKG_INFO)) ``` in EggInfoDistribution._reload_version with this: ``` try: md_version = _version_from_file(self._get_metadata(self.PKG_INFO)) except UnicodeDecodeError as e: warnings.warn( 'failure to read version number of %s at %s due to: %s' % (self.project_name, self.location, e)) md_version = None ``` I can make a pull request out of this if you think this is a good solution. BTW, the stack trace looks similar to that of #531 . You can also see multiple other people running into the same problem on stackoverflow.com, [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34440958/cant-run-pip-unicodedecodeerror), [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36684405/pip-in-crunchbang-error-unicodedecodeerror-utf8-codec-cant-decode-byte-0xb), and [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/35427548/unicodedecodeerror-utf8-codec-cant-decode-byte-0x92-in-position-661-invalid).
