In /etc/profile.d/lang.{csh,sh}.new, make en_US.UTF-8 the default locale. I agree I would like to see all files as being encoded in UTF-8. However, in the case of snappy.info it needs to be converted: $ file snappy.info snappy.info: ISO-8859 text I think this is why python is choking on it. Indeed, the webview also can't correctly show the file: https://git.slackbuilds.org/slackbuilds/tree/development/snappy/snappy.info?h=14.2 But using vim locally vim correctly detects the file encoding and displays properly.
