After installing the latest Mac OSX 64-bit Anaconda Python distribution, I keep getting a ValueError when trying to start the IPython Notebook.
Starting ipython works fine:

I summarize here the solution to be found on: http://blog.lobraun.de/2009/04/11/mercurial-on-mac-os-x-valueerror-unknown-locale-utf-8/
I added these lines to my .bash_profile:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
I reloaded the profile:
source ~/.bash_profile
I then ran ipython again:

Changing locales
The above will work for the English language in a US locale. One may want different settings.
At the risk of stating the obvious, to discover the current settings for your system, use:
$ locale
And to retrieve a list of all valid settings on your system:
$ locale -a
Then choose your preferred locale. For example, for a Swiss French locale, the solution would look like this:
export LC_ALL=fr_CH.UTF-8
export LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8
This is a bug in the OS X Terminal app that only shows up in certain locales (country/language combinations). Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities and uncheck the box “Set locale environment variables on startup”.
This will set your LANG environment variable to be empty. This may cause terminal use to incorrect settings for your locale. The locale command in the Terminal will tell you what settings are used. To use the correct language, add a line to your bash profile (typically ~/.profile)
export LANG=your-lang
Replace your-lang with the correct locale specifier for your language. The command locale -a will show you all the specifiers. For example, the language code for US English is en_US.UTF-8. The locale affects what translations are used when they are available, and also how dates, currencies, and decimals are formatted.
Note, this image and content were taken from http://conda.pydata.org/docs/troubleshooting.html#unknown-locale (I'm also the original author of that page).
in iTerm going to the menu
Preferences -> Profiles -> Terminal -> (Environment)
and then unchecking
"Set locale variables automatically"
made this error go away.
As your LC_CTYPE is wrong, you should find out where that wrong value is set and change it to something like en_US.UTF-8.

guys. I'm trying to develop a program to create excel file with using xlwt.
I have used
pip install xlwt
to install it. In Terminal, it can be imported with no error. And the Django project could be run correctly.
But in pycharm, it shows import error when running the Django project. The error code shows below:

I have already set project interpreter. The project interpreter image shows here.
Does anyone know how to solve it, thanks guys.
Hit the pip list command on pycharm's terminal and see whether xlwt available there or not. If not install it again.You are using python 2.7 so, see the version of xlwt you are using is compatible with this python or not.
Edited:
If you want to run your project with start button then go to `edit configuration by clicking on drop-down button beside the start and set the python interpreter there.
Apart from that, you need to see from .ProductService import ProductService (try writing full path instead of just typing .productService) and from method import ProductServicePO,send_email, SaveImg, create_excel_file import line in views.py and ProductService.py respectively.
Set project intepretator for current project. You probably set for common project
Just faced same problem and fixed it.
Configure your current interpreter in pycharm. (ctrl+alt+s)
Click '+' icon on the right side and install xlwt.
Install successfully with a pop-ups from pycharm and import problem is fixed.
I had to install through the Pycharm's GUI directly. Look in the following:
File|Settings|Project:|Python Interpreter| add
then search for xlwt and install.
Went to Python Packages at the bottom of PyCharm, found xlwt and installed from there.

I already update my .bash_profile and .bashrc with these lines but still not working even I already restart the terminal and my machine.

I'm also enabled Set locale environment variables on startup in the terminal preferences.
I'm afraid the problem caused because of El Capitan.
Edit: Pandas, and its dependencies, had localization bugs that were discovered in non-C locales and fixed in recent versions.
When I downloaded the latest version of Pandas onto an OS X Yosemite computer via sudo pip install pandas in a terminal set to it_IT.UTF-8, and then imported it in a new Python session, I wasn't able to reproduce this issue.
My best guess now - and I'd emphasize this is only a guess - is that the version of Pandas in that folder predates those fixes and is broken in it_IT.UTF-8. (I do think this is, on balance, more likely than the issue being specific to El Capitan.)
Your LC_ALL= is unset. That seems unusual; based on other answers here I think you should try setting it to LC_ALL="it_IT.UTF-8" and remove the other LC_ settings.
Then save your .bash_profile, open a new terminal tab, and try again.

Pelican 3.3 pelican-quickstart error "ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8"

Closed 6 years ago.
After installing the latest Mac OSX 64-bit Anaconda Python distribution, I keep getting a ValueError when trying to start the IPython Notebook.
Starting ipython works fine:

Running the locale command from the terminal:
5-millerc-~:locale
LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=
I summarize here the solution to be found on: http://blog.lobraun.de/2009/04/11/mercurial-on-mac-os-x-valueerror-unknown-locale-utf-8/
I added these lines to my .bash_profile:
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
I reloaded the profile:
source ~/.bash_profile
I then ran ipython again:
ipython notebook
Changing locales
The above will work for the English language in a US locale. One may want different settings.
At the risk of stating the obvious, to discover the current settings for your system, use:
$ locale
And to retrieve a list of all valid settings on your system:
$ locale -a
Then choose your preferred locale. For example, for a Swiss French locale, the solution would look like this:
export LC_ALL=fr_CH.UTF-8
export LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8
This is a bug in the OS X Terminal app that only shows up in certain locales (country/language combinations). Open Terminal in /Applications/Utilities and uncheck the box “Set locale environment variables on startup”.
This will set your LANG environment variable to be empty. This may cause terminal use to incorrect settings for your locale. The locale command in the Terminal will tell you what settings are used. To use the correct language, add a line to your bash profile (typically ~/.profile)
export LANG=your-lang
Replace your-lang with the correct locale specifier for your language. The command locale -a will show you all the specifiers. For example, the language code for US English is en_US.UTF-8. The locale affects what translations are used when they are available, and also how dates, currencies, and decimals are formatted.
Note, this image and content were taken from http://conda.pydata.org/docs/troubleshooting.html#unknown-locale (I'm also the original author of that page).
in iTerm going to the menu
Preferences -> Profiles -> Terminal -> (Environment)
and then unchecking
"Set locale variables automatically"
made this error go away.
As your LC_CTYPE is wrong, you should find out where that wrong value is set and change it to something like en_US.UTF-8.
