Hi, I have that error now on multiple machines, too. I did not traceback yet, when it occurred the first time. I updated all packages, but it still occurs. All machines run under windows. But under Linux this is working.

@mingjun1120 Please try add the flag --encoding=utf-8

@kinlamleung Please try add the flag --encoding=utf-8 U mean type pipreqs --encoding=utf-8 in the terminal?

[mingjun1120]

@mingjun1120 Please try add the flag --encoding=utf-8
