What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
>>puneet-madaans-macbook-pro:ulipad puma2823$ python ulipad.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

>>i think it make sense to catch exception and using a default locale , as 
en_US as default... 
anyways other option is to put a shell script with two export statements..

puneet-madaans-macbook-pro:ulipad puma2823$ export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
puneet-madaans-macbook-pro:ulipad puma2823$ export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

I've fixed the dict4ini bug, if there is an exception when executing 
getdefaultlocale(), then the encoding will be utf-8. And you can try svn 
version to see 
if it works.
