When does this happen?

IF On Windows with cp1252 default encoding, importing litellm fails with UnicodeDecodeError: 'charmap' codec can't decode byte 0x81.

How others solved it

THEN Set the environment variable PYTHONUTF8=1 before running the Python script to force Python to use UTF-8 encoding. Alternatively, downgrade litellm to version 1.67.1, which does not have this issue.

# PowerShell
$env:PYTHONUTF8="1"
python your_script.py
