Description

I use pycharm terminal to run pipreqs. And the following error occurs:

C:\Users\Mingc\OneDrive\iCarbonX\Meum\meum_nlp\nlp_v2\icx_nlp>pipreqs --use-local ./
Traceback (most recent call last):

contents = f.read()
UnicodeDecodeError: 'gbk' codec can't decode byte 0xa7 in position 27: illegal multibyte sequence

I have changed the file encoding setting to utf-8 but it still not works. How can I solve it?

Research direction

Start with pipreqs/pipreqs.py in get_all_imports, around the contents = f.read() line shown in the traceback. Reproduce pipreqs --use-local ./ on Windows with the reported project and inspect how the input file is opened and decoded. Done means the expected behavior for non-UTF-8 files is defined and the command no longer fails unexpectedly.
