Sorry, part of this thread went off-list. For the archives, OS X sets
LC_CTYPE="UTF-8", which IMO is nonsensical. This will always make
python fall over when it tries to determine the correct locale, regardless of OS
> $ unset LANG ; export LC_CTYPE="UTF-8" ; python -c 'import locale; print
> locale.getdefaultlocale()'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 503, in getdefaultlocale
return _parse_localename(localename)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 435, in _parse_localename
raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8
So the fix is to undo the damage, set a proper LANG environment
variable so that everything is aware what the locale is, which can be
done in your .bash_profile, or a number of OS X specific ways:
