Added encoding to open file

[screendriver]

On Windows machines your package can not be installed via pip, so I added utf-8 encoding:

File "C:\Users\me\AppData\Local\Temp\foo-packaging587492447920215615.tmp\microsofttranslator\setup.py", line 34, in read
    return open(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), fname)).read()
File "C:\Python34\lib\encodings\cp1252.py", line 23, in decode
    return codecs.charmap_decode(input,self.errors,decoding_table)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x9d in position 1377: character maps to <undefined>

Hmm it seems that the keyword argument "encoding" is not supported in Python 2.7. Is there a workaround for that?

I think what we need is codecs.open

• 2.7: https://docs.python.org/2/library/codecs.html#codecs.open
• 3.4: https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/codecs.html#codecs.open

Successfully tested on Windows 8.1 with Python 3.4

Another solution where you don't have to change anything in your Python code: simple replace "Olá" with "Ola" 😉

@screendriver wouldn't that be ironic given what we are all trying to do is translate between languages :)

[screendriver]

That's true. But look at @rob19780114 s post. It seems to work with the codec Python module.

@sharoonthomas Actually it's not a problem supplying à, but please set the correct encoding, if you do so. :)
