UnicodeDecodeError on build #46

Closed The-Judge closed 6 years ago

The-Judge commented 6 years ago

During build on Python 3.6.5 (pip3 install ethtool==0.13), I receive the following error:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-5lwqn5lb/ethtool/

I have no idea what is wrong; ethtool module builds on other hosts. Is this a known issue with environment or something maybe?

I cannot reproduce this. What's you operating system?

hroncok commented 6 years ago

What is the output of locale shell command?

hroncok commented 6 years ago

I can reproduce this with Python 3.5 and ASCII locale.

Thank you for your incredibly fast reply! I'm on CentOS 6.7 with Python 3.6.5 installed from iUS (package python36u-3.6.5-1.ius.centos6.x86_64).

Output of locale is:

LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=

PS: Thanks for also comming up with a workarround: Setting the LC_* to an utf8 enabled one makes it work like a charm:

export LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8' && pip3 install ethtool==0.13
