Comment #2 on issue 594 by jussi.ao.malinen: RobotFramework 2.5 does not support encoding "c", which is default for some platforms
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=594
I failed to reproduce this on OSX 10.6.4 and Windows XP. I tried running all acceptance tests on python and atest/robot/parsing -suite on jython on both platforms. All worked fine with LANG=C.
Here is what I get for encodings: OSX 10.6.4:
LANG=C python -c 'import sys; print sys.stdout.encoding'
out: UTF-8
LANG=C jython -c 'import sys; print sys.stdout.encoding'
out: UTF-8 Windows XP:
set LANG=C python -c "import sys; print sys.stdout.encoding"
out: cp437
jython -c "import sys; print sys.stdout.encoding"
out: Cp1252
