pip3 install Unicode decode error in Docker container

[sEpt0r]

I have the same issue as #82
I can't install pyrebase in docker container with python 3.5.

The simplest Dockerfile for test it:

FROM ubuntu:16.04

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y python3-pip

RUN pip3 install Pyrebase

Collecting jws>=0.1.3 (from python-jwt->Pyrebase->-r /app/requirements.txt (line 5))
  Downloading jws-0.1.3.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-build-r4gg1082/jws/setup.py", line 17, in <module>
        long_description=read('README.md'),
      File "/tmp/pip-build-r4gg1082/jws/setup.py", line 5, in read
        return open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), fname)).read()
      File "/usr/lib/python3.5/encodings/ascii.py", line 26, in decode
        return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
    UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 500: ordinal not in range(128)

I installed fixed jws from source and Pyrebase was successfully installed.
Some guys recommend install PyJWT instead python-jwt, also https://jwt.io/ recommends to install PyJWT.
Do you have a plans to migrate from python-jwt on PyJWT?

Hi @sEpt0r, thanks for bringing this up! This should be fixed by #93, please let me know if you find that this error still exists on your end. If it does we will move to PyJWT.

Hi @thisbejim, thanks for the comment. I am still experiencing this issue after you merged the commit in #93.

I used the same Dockerfile as @sEpt0r to test it.

The suggestion in #82 to do sudo apt-get install locales didn't work either

EDIT: I installed a random older version (3.0.10) and that worked fine.

Here is the Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:16.04

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y python3-pip

RUN pip3 install http://pypi.python.org/packages/db/06/e7ca923475431baf98e37b9627ca29903570b9e749f507d2902dcf222213/Pyrebase-3.0.10-py3-none-any.whl

First of all, thanks for this great project 👍

I have same issue - From version 3.0.12, it failed with UnicodeDecodeError.

In case of version 3.0.11, it does not yield UnicodeDecodeError, but dependency error occurred from six, packaging and appdirs. I succeed to install after installing these packages.

Seems like the problems here come from the dependency jws. I am also experiencing this issue when installing in a VPS with Ubuntu. There are two open pull request right now that seems to solve the issue but haven't been merged into the dependency:

brianloveswords/python-jws#25
brianloveswords/python-jws#21

Following work around did the job:
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" pip install jws

[alex1989]

you can try this before install pip dependecies, it should help you

ENV LANG C.UTF-8

Collecting jws>=0.1.3 (from python-jwt->Pyrebase->-r /app/requirements.txt (line 5))
Downloading jws-0.1.3.tar.gz

Installing the jws separately solved it for me. What I did:
Download jws-0.1.3.tar.gz
Decompress
Remove line long_description=read('README.md'), from setup.py
Install the module python setup.py install
Now run pip install pyrebase

If you will experience a problem with googleapis-common-protos dependency like me, refer to this post and update setuptools.

it's work for me

export LANG=C.UTF-8
pip install pyrebase

As @DmitryAlekseev suggested, adding ENV LANG C.UTF-8 to my Dockerfile solved the problem for me.
