Hey there, thanks for pointing this bug out. You can try installing it this way:

python3 -m pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall numpy gpt2-client

Usually, it's a numpy problem. If this still does not answer your query, would you mind sharing your OS and details about your system?

Thanks!

I received the same error, but was able to get it to work by removing the following lines from setup.py:

this_directory = path.abspath(path.dirname(__file__))
with open(path.join(this_directory, 'README.md')) as f:
	long_description = f.read()

I'm very inexperienced with python and programming languages in general so I'm not sure what caused the error specifically, but I was able to get it to install correctly by removing those lines.
Hope it helps

Yup, I'm having the same problem here. It seems there's a character in the Readme.md thats at fault. Issue was solved for me by reverting to 1.9.2 (Only thought downgrading might fix it since it installed just fine awhile back on another machine of mine).

I want to confirm this. The emojis on the first line of eadme.md are causing the installer to crash, remove the two emojis and it works like a charm.

Hey everyone, I'm removing the emojis in the next update. Do stay tuned!
