[issue33142] Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding on Debian/Python 3.6.4 source build

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily  added the comment:

Since python3.6 is regularly built with various Debian releases, this seems 
unlikely to be a problem in Python itself.  Suggest you verify that no venv or 
virtualenv is in use or that PYTHON* environment variables are set or that no 
modifications provided by Debian are the cause.  If you can reproduce with a 
stock Python 3.6.4 (3.6.5 shortly) tarball from python.org, please feel free to 
reopen and show the exact steps used to build, i.e. tar, configure, and make 
commands.
