Python error when executing :shell or :term

[Chris Sutcliffe-2]

Hi,

When I execute :shell or :term I get the following error:

Fatal Python error: config_get_locale_encoding: failed to get the locale encoding: nl_langinfo(CODESET) failed
Python runtime state: preinitialized

Any ideas how to correct this?

Thanks!

Some additional information - it's related to the locale settings when run directly as an application due to the encoding (the ".UTF-8") not being present.  If I execute:

open /Applications/MacVim.app

it works fine because the locale settings are correct in a terminal.

First check this .....

PYTHONHOME=/usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.x.y/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.x
PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONHOME/bin

Then look at this URL

I'm not sure if this is related.  Checking PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH, both are unset in my environment.  Additionally, as per my follow-up, it seems to be related to the encoding being stripped from the LC_* variables when MacVim is launched directly (as opposed to being opened from a terminal where the LC_* variable are set correctly).  I see terminal apps have the option to set text encoding, not sure if it's possible to configure that in MacVim.

To close on this issue, I've found a workaround and identified the issue to the MacVim team:
