Certain uses of the equery script result in this backtrace (or something similar; this is from running equery belongs): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/chip/Gentoo/usr/bin/equery", line 38, in <module> equery.main() File "/Users/chip/Gentoo/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gentoolkit/equery/__init__.py", line 349, in main loaded_module.main(module_args) File "/Users/chip/Gentoo/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gentoolkit/equery/belongs.py", line 144, in main pp.regexpquery(",".join(queries))) File "/Users/chip/Gentoo/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gentoolkit/pprinter.py", line 180, in uprint sep = sep.encode(encoding, 'replace') LookupError: unknown encoding: According to the exception message, the encoding is blank! Looking at the pprinter module from gentoolkit shows that the encoding is set like so: import locale ... encoding = locale.getpreferredencoding() Trying this in a python interpreter indeed results in a blank string: Python 2.7.1 (r271:86832, Jan 8 2011, 12:20:29) [GCC 4.2.1 (Gentoo 4.2.1_p5664, Apple Inc. build 5664)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import locale >>> locale.getpreferredencoding() '' Oddly enough, though, passing 'False' returns an actual encoding: >>> locale.getpreferredencoding(False) 'US-ASCII' I suspect that on other platforms, though, we don't want to pass False because that will cause it to fail. Looks like a Darwin-specific patch file is in order (for now). This might actually be an upstream issue in Python 2.7; I'll take a look. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run equery with the belongs, changes, check, hasuse, list, meta, size, uses, or which verbs. Actual Results: Got a traceback that ends at the 'uprint' method in gentoolkit's pprinter module. Expected Results: All equery verbs should work as documented.

It does. What does 'locale' say for you? Here's what it says for me: LANG= LC_COLLATE="C" LC_CTYPE="C" LC_MESSAGES="C" LC_MONETARY="C" LC_NUMERIC="C" LC_TIME="C" LC_ALL= For some reason, setting LANG, LC_CTYPE, or LC_ALL to anything--anything at all, even a non-existent locale--causes locale.getpreferredencoding(True) to succeed, and return a nonzero-length string. I wonder why that is.
I set my locale to en_gb.UTF-8, I knew that upfront :) Python-2.7 now actually listens to the environment iso hardcoding this stupid macroman.
I guess there is no more issue here?
