It's failing on an attempt to open the file bayesdb-demo:

@gregory-marton, that did not the address the issue, I'm afraid. Discussion on #python suggests that it's actually a locale-handling bug in anaconda. I am upgrading to latest anaconda now.

[gregory-marton]

Sorry, wrong bug number. I meant #138 in that commit, this one was just on the brain.

[gregory-marton]

Thanks for looking into it, @alxempirical!

Closing this unless I hear different from the anaconda people
