[New-bugs-announce] [issue35149] pip3 show causing Error for ConfigParaser

[Dileep]

New submission from Dileep <m.dileep at gmail.com>:

I' receiving error while viewing the package info of ConfigParser.

The command `pip3 show ConfigParser` doesn't cause any error where as following batch script is resulting this error

It has something to do with Autor name or Unicode handling of the Pip3
`for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=:" %a in ('pip3 show ConfigParser') do echo %a : %b`
