mayavi2 error in decoding

[mestess]

Operating System: Linux Fedora 24 kernel 4.11.6-101 (up to date)

Installed binary package from the distribution's repositories: Mayavi-4.5.0.x86_64.rpm (without any error)

Run the command:

mayavi2

from a bash shell command line, requiring execution of the (installed) script

/usr/bin/mayavi2

Got the following, instead of the mayavi's window:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/mayavi2", line 5, in from pkg_resources import load_entry_point File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3141, in @_call_aside File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3127, in _call_aside f(*args, kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 3154, in _initialize_master_working_set working_set = WorkingSet._build_master() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 631, in _build_master ws = cls() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 624, in init self.add_entry(entry) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 680, in add_entry for dist in find_distributions(entry, True): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 2122, in find_on_path path_item, entry, metadata, precedence=DEVELOP_DIST File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 2521, in from_location py_version=py_version, platform=platform, kw File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 2838, in _reload_version md_version = _version_from_file(self._get_metadata(self.PKG_INFO)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 2486, in _version_from_file line = next(iter(version_lines), '') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 2654, in _get_metadata for line in self.get_metadata_lines(name): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 2013, in get_metadata_lines return yield_lines(self.get_metadata(name)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pkg_resources/init.py", line 2008, in get_metadata metadata = f.read() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/codecs.py", line 314, in decode (result, consumed) = self._buffer_decode(data, self.errors, final) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xf6 in position 203: invalid start byte

What happens?

Hi, you can run this from the command line before launching the Mayavi2 `application::

$ export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

This should solve your problem.

No, it doesn't work yet.
