Error on MAC High Sierra + miniconda 3

[Civilduino]

Hi,

I have macOS High Sierra 10.13.5 and installed miniconda 3, followed by different packages as numpy, matplotlib, spyder and vitables. I first tried installing vitables directly from conda-forge but got a strange error. Then I tried cloning directly the GitHub and using the setup.py and it I got the same error again when trying to run vitables (see below):

yannie$ vitables

return f(*args, **kwds)

ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8

I did remove the requirement for the PyQt5 in the install_requires and nothing. I really do not understand this error.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have never seen this error before. Googling a little bit I've found these links:

Hope it helps.
