vcfpy/vcfpy/bgzf.py

Line 135 in 1d9a36e

data = codecs.latin_1_encode(data)[0]

I ran into errors when using a tool that uses vcfpy (genotype annotator).

UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode character '\ufffd' in position 3812: ordinal not in range(256)

I was wondering if there is a reason why latin-1 is used instead of utf-8. Or if the encoding could be changed.

Thankful for any hints / pointers.
