Description
Description
Same codes worked well last year, but not now.
Code to reproduce
import cartopy.io.shapereader as shpreader
def __extract():
shpname = r".\map\China_province"
provinces_records = list(shpreader.Reader(shpname).records())
provinces_geometrys = [x.geometry for x in provinces_records]
provinces_attributes = [x.attributes for x in provinces_records]
return provinces_geometrys, provinces_attributes
provinces_shapes, provinces_records = __extract()

Full environment definition
Operating system
Win10 1809 64bit
Cartopy version
Now is 0.17.0, don't remember witch version when it worked.
conda list
pyshp 2.0.1
shapely 1.6.4
python 3.7.2
......
When I
from shapefile import Reader as shpReader
shpname = r".\map\China_province"
file = shpReader(shpname, encoding="gbk")
provinces_records = file.records()
provinces_shapes = file.shapes()
there's no Error.
What happened to shapefile or cartopy? Can I pass encoding="gbk" to cartopy.io.shapereader.Reader()?
