I get nothing for either LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL (haven't had a chance to check with
Carlos yet). But he's getting an error in python that UTF-8 is unrecognized.
Looking at my machine, it comes up en_US.UTF8 (no hyphen).
On my computer...
anthgradpc7:~ cmbarton$ python
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jun 24 2010, 21:47:49)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import locale
>>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
('en_US', 'UTF8')
[same answer in Python 2.7 on Lion]
On Carlos' computer
>>> import locale
>>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/locale.py",

File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/locale.py",
line 428, in _parse_localename
ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8
The GRASS wx GUI calls locale.getdefaultlocale() in ghelp.py
