I am new to Python and I am using python 3.4, on a windows 7 machines. I installed the module wordcloud using pip. However when I run my code:

import os
from scipy.misc import imread
from wordcloud import WordCloud, STOPWORDS, ImageColorGenerator
import random

below is my output below:

     UnicodeDecodeError                        Traceback (most recent call last)

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x83 in position 1: invalid start byte

What could be the problem and how do I resolve this issue? thanks in advance.
