I cannot reproduce this issue. I tried with Python 3.5 and Python 3.4.
I've tried long_description = open(os.path.join(base_path, 'README.rst')).read() manually and worked fine.
Would you please provide more information about the enviroment?

[dmoisset]

Probably the success/failure depends on your default system encoding (my guess is that Tim Richardson (@timrichd) is running this on a container with minimal locale support)... One fix would be to add encoding='utf-8' to the open call (although that will help only if python2 support is dropped)

[timrichd]

I was running this in a python docker container, can't remember which ATM, Daniel F Moisset (@dmoisset) suggestion sounds like a good fix.

Will add more details and try the suggested fix once I'm home.

I have the same problem, I use fresh ubuntu installation in docker and when I pip install featureforge, it will report the following error info:

my ubuntu version is Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS, python version is python 3.6.1

I have known the reason. My docker ubuntu LANG environment variable is C, not support utf8. So I change the variable to C.UTF8 and it works.
It's a system environment problem, not a software problem.

[timrichd]

Maybe you guys should put a error message warning about the LANG env variable
