I am using python 3.7.9

As a temporary fix, you may go to iwn.py file-> _load_synset_file(self, lang) -> change f = open(filename) to f = open(filename,encoding='utf-8'). To modify the iwn.py file locally, I have used the PyCharm IDE.

@ArupDas15 I have changed it. Please uninstall the pip package, clone this repo and run python setup.py install
