I am trying to install awsebcli in a virtualenv like this:

pip install awsebcli --upgrade --user

Installation fails with the following error:

 Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
      File "/tmp/pip-install-dpxu8m6m/awsebcli/setup.py", line 48, in <module>

        return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
    UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 7198: ordinal not in range(128)

    ----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-dpxu8m6m/awsebcli/

Note: None of the answers for this question-PIP Install Numpy throws an error "ascii codec can't decode byte 0xe2" works for me.

    As @hoefling points out, specifically, I think, [this response](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/26473681/pip-install-numpy-throws-an-error-ascii-codec-cant-decode-byte-0xe2#answer-31573180) is the solution. – progfan Jul 27 '18 at 17:49
  • @hoefling-That one is for numpy and ubuntu. – Rashik Jul 27 '18 at 17:49
  • @progfan-LC_ALL=C did not work for me. – Rashik Jul 27 '18 at 18:00

    @Rashik it's not about the OS or the package, it's about your locales setup. The error means that your system does not recognize some UTF-8 characters in the package's `CHANGES.rst` file. What is your output of the `locale` command? – hoefling Jul 27 '18 at 18:07

  • @hoefling Here you go. – Rashik Jul 27 '18 at 18:21

    Your system does not have locale configured correctly. You should resolve the locale issue, Arch has a good wiki article for this: [Locale](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/locale). As for the temporary workaround, `export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"` should help. – hoefling Jul 27 '18 at 18:33
  • @hoefling Do I add the line to my locale.conf file? – Rashik Jul 27 '18 at 20:09

    No, just run the line from the terminal, then try installing `awsebcli` again. – hoefling Jul 27 '18 at 20:30
  • @hoefling Still getting the same error. – Rashik Jul 27 '18 at 20:34
  • en_US.UTF-8 is uncommented in my locale.gen file. – Rashik Jul 27 '18 at 20:40

Using a virtualenv with only python2 helped.
