Which file exactly causes the error? If it’s pydoc.py, it’s strange because
the source is ASCII. Are you installing in a path with non-ASCII characters?

title: Error: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x9e in position 0:
Konstantin Zemlyak added the comment:
If option to precompile python files is checked in installer, pydoc.py gets
compiled into binary files Lib\venv\scripts\nt\__pycache__\pydoc.cpython33.pyc
and Lib\venv\scripts\nt\__pycache__\pydoc.cpython33.pyo.

Konstantin Zemlyak added the comment:
Also current title is a bit wrong, since decoding error happens in runtime each
time venv is invoked, while the source of the problem happens while
byte-compiling stdlib at install time once.
