Perhaps was a Windows issue. Current repo explicitly sets encoding. If this does not fix the error please reopen with more details about your system.

good point - PR to fix this very much welcome

This encoding parameter is now added.

I found python2 doesn't have the encoding flag so have removed this for now. Then I tested an example in both python 2 & 3 without this flag and didn't...

Have dropped support for python2 and added this encoding parameter.

I think if removed then would be a problem for places such as "Vatican City" & "Ho Chi Minh City", that should include this suffix.

ha, that's funny! But this module is accessed with `import whois` and I don't want to change that.

Could I get the pypi:whois account? I don't want to change the import, which would impact existing usage. But I would be happy to make the pypi account consistent.

Thanks so much! Will move repo there soon

PR would be welcome to fix the .cr date parsing
