Error in Generate HTML report

[marchettibruno]

I can input my data file and output the + _perf.tsv file. However, when I try to generate an HTML report using the "-a" command the fallowing message appears. I also tried to use the "-a" with the "test_data" files from the own "perf-master" folder, and the same message appears.

Command:
PERF -i test_input.fa -o test_input_perf.tsv -a

Result:

Generating HTML report. This may take a while..

Hi,
This seems to be a Windows OS specific issue. We are working on resolving it.

Not sure if this is resolved but that looks like the file might be encoded as 'utf-8-sig' or 'latin-1', might be worth it to try reading by iterating over those encodings by setting the encoding parameter in the open() method.
