Could you, please, open a terminal/power shell to call directly python and
then run:
import locale
locale.getdefaultlocale()
I am interested in the output of the second line.
It should be something like, I am guessing here,
('de_DE', 'cp1252')
but in this case since there is an error I suspect that the outcome is
(None, None)
FWIW in Fedora 25 I get
(None, None) for python 2
and
('en_US', 'UTF-8') for python 3 # the correct answer is this case. :-)
