[Docutils-develop] [docutils:bugs] Re: #434 Error when running the test suite for Docutils on Windows 10.

[PotentialUser-54 <pot...@us...>]

Hi Günter,

Yes, I can confirm that it works with Python 3 when using the full path (including extension), and all tests pass.

Please update the documentation for running the tests with Python 3 on Windows.

Just a heads up: `[example](https://example.com)` should be Markdown link syntax.

Running the test suite for Docutils on Windows 10 using [the instructions](https://docutils.sourceforge.io/README.html#running-the-test-suite) fails.

As instructed, I am now opening this bug report after checking that there is not already one.

```pwsh
PS <redacted>\docutils\docutils\test> python alltests.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<redacted>\docutils\docutils\test\alltests.py", line 93, in <module>
    suite = suite()
  File "<redacted>\docutils\docutils\test\alltests.py", line 80, in suite
    suite = package_unittest.loadTestModules(DocutilsTestSupport.testroot,
  File "<redacted>\docutils\docutils\test\package_unittest.py", line 102, in loadTestModules
    module = import_module(mod)
  File "<redacted>\docutils\docutils\test\package_unittest.py", line 133, in import_module
    mod = __import__(name)
  File "<redacted>\docutils\docutils\test\test_error_reporting.py", line 212, in <module>
    class SafeStringTests_locale(unittest.TestCase):
  File "<redacted>\docutils\docutils\test\test_error_reporting.py", line 225, in SafeStringTests_locale
    open(b'\xfc')
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 0: invalid start byte
```

```pwsh
PS <redacted>\docutils\docutils\test> python ../tools/quicktest.py --version
quicktest.py (Docutils 0.18 [release])
PS <redacted>\docutils\docutils\test> python --version
Python 3.9.6
