locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

[dyong0]

Hi I run percol right after installing but I got an error.
So I looked in the code and found the reason why I got this error.
Anybody else got the same error?

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/percol", line 14, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/percol/cli.py", line 186, in main
    output_encoding = set_proper_locale(options)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/percol/cli.py", line 122, in set_proper_locale
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.12_2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 581,in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

I fixed this proble by just putting specific locale "C" into the second parameter.
@line 122

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'C')

Similar error in Emacs ansi-term but python3, it works fine in Mac Terminal though.

It seems Emacs ansi-term will not read ~/.profile, so after source ~/.profile, everything is fine. Also, it's a bad idea use it in any Emacs shell emulator.

@dyong0 Maybe you should check your locale setting.
