Trying to install eth-brownie with pipx as recommended on Windows through powershell terminal in Visual Studio Code. Tried reinstalling pip and pipx. No problems installing eth-brownie through pip, but need it done through pipx. Below is the error message:

PS C:\Users\XXX\OneDrive\Desktop\Blockchain-101\demos\brownie_simple_storage> pipx install eth-brownie

Traceback (most recent call last):

    return codecs.charmap_encode(input,self.errors,encoding_table)[0]
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character '\u2502' in position 559: character maps to <undefined>

Could anyone help me understand where this issue is coming from and how to fix it?

  • Any update on this one? I am stuck with this one as well. I have tried different things like the author himself, however no luck. – mtrobert Feb 28 '22 at 23:21

Right, I know it is not ideal solution, however I got passed through this step. I fresh installed python 3.10.2. Afterwards, I visited the eth-brownie page:

https://eth-brownie.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install.html

and installed brownie, following GitHub method specified in 'Other Installation Methods' section.
