locale.Error: unsupported locale setting #217
Description
If the environment variable LANG is not set, but LC_CTYPE is, bpython fails with the traceback:
#!python
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/bpython-2.7", line 9, in <module>
load_entry_point('bpython==0.11', 'console_scripts', 'bpython')()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bpython/cli.py", line 1849, in main
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 539, in setlocale
return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
Changing line 1849 of cli.py to
#!python
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, locale.getdefaultlocale())
fixes the traceback.
