Can I see which locale you have it set to? It works for me when it's utf-8 but I want to try to reproduce so I can tackle it.
Comment 2 Devan Franchini (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-12-04 20:11:46 UTC
Never mind that, I can reproduce.

  LC_CTYPE=C fixed it, so LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" is at fault

I figured out what the issue was and I was able to successfully fix it by making layman indiscriminately encode all messages from layman's output class. It's in layman's master branch, and you should expect to see a new layman release somewhat soonish.

Until then feel free to test out the 9999 ebuild.
Comment 5 Sebastian Pipping gentoo-dev 2014-12-05 00:25:27 UTC
I can confirm that the master branch does not crash on

  # PYTHONPATH=. ./bin/layman -i mv
  [..]

Good work!
