Locale error during work

[sneakyjoeru]

Hi. Macos Tahoe, installed through pipx. Tried running on syslog to see how it goes.

❯ pipx install toolong
'toolong' already seems to be installed. Not modifying existing installation in
'/Users/mturusov/.local/pipx/venvs/toolong'. Pass '--force' to force installation.

❯ pipx ensurepath
/Users/mturusov/.local/bin is already in PATH.

⚠️  All pipx binary directories have been appended to PATH. If you are sure you want to
proceed, try again with the '--force' flag.

Otherwise pipx is ready to go! ✨ 🌟 ✨

❯ tl /var/log/syslog
Traceback (most recent call last):

locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

I am having the same error on a specific headless Linux server (where I do not have administrator privileges).
However, on my local Linux machine the command works fine.

Via an answer to Python locale error: unsupported locale setting on Stack Overflow I found out that the following variable export (as a temporary workaround), before executing the tl command, resolves the issue for me:

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
