UnicodeDecodeError on python3.6

Hi, I'm getting UnicodeDecodeError on python3.6:

>>> import reverse_geocode
>>> coordinates = (-37.81, 144.96), (31.76, 35.21)
>>> reverse_geocode.search(coordinates)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Moved to python3.7 it fixed the problem.

strange - I was not aware 3.6 & 3.7 handle unicode differently

Am unable to reproduce. Tested again in 3.11 and works.

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.
