If `LANG=C` is set on Python 3, the encoding would be `None`.

LANG=Cis set on Python 3, the encoding would beNone. See Debian bug #852813 for details.To at least get rid of the exception and traceback, I have attached a patch that prints an error message and exits.
A more elaborate fix might be to provide a fallback encoding (maybe ASCII?). Then again, I'm not sure why the encoding is dependent of the locale at all.
Maybe it should be a robust default (UTF-8?) that can optionally be overridden?
