[PyQt] pyqtdeploy error - QTextCodec.codecForLocale returns None

[Chandrakant Gopalan]

Hello,

I am using Python 3.5, PyQt5 with Qt 5.6 on Windows 10 and trying to build a project with pyqtdeploy. The GUI closes whenever theres an error, so I had to run the build via the command line. When I do this I get an error:

c:\Users\cgopalan\pyqtdeploy>pyqtdeploycli --output ./build --project po_gui.pdy --verbose build
Creating directory .\build

Please help.

Thanks
