I am posting the solution to the problem in case anyone else has this issue. It is important to set the PYTHON variable in Julia to the binary used in the python virtual environment. For example, once the virtual environment is activated,
% (venv) which python > /path/to/venv/binary then in the Julia console: % ENV["PYTHON"] = "/path/to/venv/binary" my error in particular was including "~" in the path out of habit, which expands in bash, but obviously not in Julia. "import _locale" worked in the Python terminal because it was launched with the correct binary.
