Have you considered including an encoding line at the top of your file, as

I just ran into a similar error, but it went away when I included
# coding: utf-8
as the first line in my file.

Because the variables aren't set.
The default locale for a particular category (e.g. LC_CTYPE) is taken from
$LC_ALL if that is set, otherwise $LC_CTYPE, otherwise $LANG, otherwi
