What does rebase means? I just installed pytesseract so I should have latest version, I also tried updating Pillow but it said there's no updates available

Sorry I confused you with somebody else. Yes the problem is still there. I
just put all calls to pytesseract into try except. Didn't find any better
solution.

It seems to me this is related to #26 and would be solved by PR #33

The error still occurs with 0.1.7

from pytesseract.

@dickreuter Please provide us with the following information:

1. OS name and version.
2. python version
3. sample code snippet + sample file that produce the error.

Thanks for reporting the issue.

from pytesseract.

In fact the error is not from pytesseract itself but by what it returns. I'm unable to write the output.

from pytesseract.

@dickreuter It is encode/decode related problem.
You may need to use utf-8, because it seems that the tesseract executable uses that as output.

Also you can try the win_unicode_console module

from pytesseract.
