Maybe your shell language isn't set right?  What do these return in a new 
Terminal window:

env | grep LANG
env | grep LC_

OS X automatically sets LANG, but there are others that are checked first: 
LC_ALL and LC_CTYPE.  Python is expecting them to be in the form:

language.encoding

ie, the default US english is "en_US.UTF-8".

If any of those are just the encoding (the "UTF-8" in your error), then maybe 
you added something to your ~/.bash_profile to set them?
