Jupyter-themes: UnicodeDecodeError

[mlx809593812]

how can I solve decode problem like this.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 41271: illegal multibyte sequence

[aiqu]

Try this(https://github.com/dunovank/jupyter-themes/pull/216). I had the same problem

Thank you.But I still not solve this problem in windows...

[aiqu]

Could you explain more details?

I tried as below, and I think it could solve your problem.
Although I tried it on linux, I think encoding problem won't be different

• I converted original notebook.less file to ASCII format using iconv tool and named it as 'notebook.less.ascii'
• Without encoding parameter, it reads well
• However, with 'gbk' encoding, it fails as you experienced
• Finally, use converted file with 'gbk' encoding works well!

@aiqu Thank you for your help!
This is my problem:UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0x8b in position 41271: illegal multibyte sequence
The system I used is windows,I can not use the iconv tool to converted file with 'gbk' encoding

[aiqu]

This is the converted file, save it as 'notebook.less'
notebook.less.txt

and replace your notebook.less file in your site-packages/jupytherthemes/layout

It will work :D

Would someone mind upgrading to version 0.18.8 to see if this is fixed? And could you report your results back here? Thanks!

pip install --upgrade jupyterthemes

Has been fixed in v0.18.9 (see duplicate issues #217 and #220 )
