fix[ci]: fix README encoding in setup.py (#4348)

charles-cooper · web-flow · commit 53f623b83d71 · 2024-11-05T14:17:02.000Z
the call to `setup()` would fail on windows when there are unicode
characters in `README.md`, because files are apparently opened with
encoding `cp1252` by default on windows. this commit ensures the file
is opened with `utf-8` encoding.
