UnicodeDecodeError when installing ansible

Hi,

I installed pipenv 7.4.3, and trying to install ansible (pipenv install ansible) i get this traceback:

@marcinkuzminski more specifically, this seems like a pip-tools issue

related issues:

• https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools/issues/439
• https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools/issues/433
• https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools/pull/451

if you read through some of the issues, people have a lot of issues reproducing this bug.

10 minutes later and the same command doesn’t give exception. Everything is 100% the same. Git reset same. https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools/issues/439#issuecomment-273664824

Unfortunately, after fixing it once with @byjott’s approach, I was unable to reproduce - if you’re debugging, watch out! I can reproduce at-will now though, if anyone would like more info. https://github.com/jazzband/pip-tools/issues/433#issuecomment-277825142

let’s get this fixed in pip-tools then!
