For others who might have similar problem. utf-8 have not worked for me, but with iso-8859-1 it worked: pipreqs --encoding=iso-8859-1 ./

–encoding=utf-8 worked. I’m still reviewing the .txt, I think it’s actually correct.

Can you post the generated requirements.txt? Can you try with --encoding=utf-8 options, and see if the error persists

@gil9red fix works for me. Patch below:

This seems to have worked for me pipreqs --encoding=utf-8-sig ./

But it isn’t generating the correct requirements

Windows 10 x64, Python 3.5 x64. The same bug.
