My team has just started exploring the use of python and we are having some trouble installing robotpy on our PC (windows 10). We have installed python3.6 and pyfrc, and imaged the roborio without any issues. We downloaded the zipped robotpy file from GitHub, extracted the file, and used py -3 installer.py install-robotpy as specified in the robotpy documentation. That gives us the following error. An online search suggests an encoding issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go from here?
Code:
C:\Users\falcons1493\robotpy\robotpy-2017.0.0> py -3 installer.py install-robotpy
