So today I upgraded to bazaar 2.0.2, and I started receiving this message (I'm on snow leopard, btw):
bzr: warning: unknown locale: UTF-8
Could not determine what text encoding to use.
This error usually means your Python interpreter
doesn't support the locale set by $LANG (en_US.UTF-8)
Continuing with ascii encoding.
very strange, since my LANG is actually empty. Similar thing happen when I try to tinker with the locale module

>>> import locale

exporting LANG does not help

However, this solved the problem

Could you please explain what's going on here, for better googlability ?
