Mac brew更新软件报locale utf-8 unknown。
问题描述
brew update && brew upgrade，更新 mpv 时报错: ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8
确定当前locale
$ locale
LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=
Python获取当前locale
$ python -c 'import locale; print(locale.getdefaultlocale());'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 543, in getdefaultlocale return _parse_localename(localename)
File "/usr/local/Cellar/python/2.7.11/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 475, in _parse_localename raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8
解决
设置locale为en_US.UTF-8，我使用的zsh，所以在~/.zshrc中添加locale设置：
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8
再通过Python获取当前locale：
$ python -c 'import locale; print(locale.getdefaultlocale());'
('en_US', 'UTF-8')
brew upgrade也正常工作了。
