Closed mnp closed 5 years ago
Solved my own problem. Bit the bullet and...
export LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8"
export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
OK, good to know! @mnp do you happen to know what your $LANG/$LANGUAGE were set to before? And if you didn't set them yourself, would you mind saying what your OS set-up is?
Refining the above: First, I was using LANG=C, that was no bueno. There was actually an OS bug long ago in the GNU-C library that would make sort
about 10x slower because the UTF-8 collation function was used instead of the old K&R one. Anyway, there may be no reason to use LANG=C now. This was Ubuntu Bionic in a gnome-terminal.
Also, all it needed was export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
. It seems $LANGUAGE
was not necessary.
Alright, great. I'm closing this issue because we got it resolved for you (and it seems to be a pretty isolated case, at least so far) but I've opened #17 to provide a better failure notice on things like this, generally.
Python 3.6.7 in a gnome-terminal, installed with
pip3 install --user
. Thanks!
