Hi @Roggus,

Can you post the output of:

 $ pip freeze

The issue looks like it's coming from aws-cli, are you able to run commands with just the aws-cli?

 $ aws s3 ls

Any hints from this output?

aws s3 ls works fine, i get a listing of my buckets. The error message ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8 seems odd as well, UTF-8 feels pretty common, it must be something else as i understand.

[donnemartin]

This Stack Overflow post seems very similar.

Does this answer help?

[Roggus-zz]

Definitivle help. It was local issue, or as a read a current bug that is to be fixed. Adding

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

to my .zshrc or .bash if one uses that did the trick.

I'm so happy to be using this easy and fast add-on for aws-cli. Thx for the help @donnemartin

[donnemartin]

Great! Happy to hear you're up and running.
