UnicodeDecodeError: ‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xd5 in position 2: invalid continuation byte

when installing Python3 via pip on Win10
I encountered UnicodeDecodeError when installing via pip.

The system is windows 10 and the python version is 3.6.0.

The complete message is as follows.

C:\Windows\system32>pip install SQLAlchemy

I’ve tried to modify the code page with “CHCP 65001”, but it didn’t work. I have tried the method of “CHCP 866”, but it has no effect

I also found many ways to use sys. Set default encoding in various places, but I used Python 3

Update:

I saw on stackoverflow that it is suggested to modify the code page to 437. It is not only the above problem… But also the permissionerror: [winerror 32] another program is using this file and the process cannot access it

The error information is as follows:

Solution:

Open

return s.decode ('utf_ 8 ') to return s.decode ('cp936')

Reason:
coding problem, although PY3 uses UTF-8. But the terminal display under win still uses GBK code
