Source of error: Unable to decode the content of the README.rst file as it is not read as UTF-8 encoded text in the readme() function.

        ```
        with open('README.rst') as f:
        ```
        should be 
        ```
        with open('README.rst', encoding='utf-8') as f:
        ```

Temporary Solution:

1. Remove the content of the README.rst file
   or
2. Comment out the call to the readme() function in the setup function call in the setup.py file as
   setup( ... # long_description=readme(), ... )

Fast Solution/Quick fix: Removing the content of README.rst

1. Clone the git repo for amseg library

   git clone https://github.com/uhh-lt/amharicprocessor.git
   

   cd amharicprocessor
   

2. Remove the content of the README.rst file, which was raising the above error

   echo. > README.rst
   

3. Install the package

   python setup.py install
   

4. Clean the downloaded files

   cd ..
   

   rmdir /s /q amharicprocessor
   

5. Verify installation with

   pip install amseg
