[pip install timecode] UnicodeDecodeError: 'cp950' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 9097: illegal multibyte sequence

I try pip install timecode, but I get encoding errors.

(.venv) D:\.....\.venv\Scripts>pip install timecode

I tried to modify the installation program to make it run normally, but I failed. I am not very good at python, sorry.

I edited the encoding of setup.py and then called pip install timecode-master

def read_file(file_path):
    """Read the given file at file_path.

    Args:
        file_path (str): The file path to read.

    Returns:
        str: The file content.
    """
    with open(file_path, encoding="utf-8") as f:
        data = f.read()
    return data

It works for me. The installation was successful. I hope it can be updated to the default installation method in the future.
