[issue33142] Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding on Debian/Python 3.6.4 source build

[Ned Deily]

Ned Deily <nad at python.org> added the comment:

Since python3.6 is regularly built with various Debian releases, this seems unlikely to be a problem in Python itself.  Suggest you verify that no venv or virtualenv is in use or that PYTHON* environment variables are set or that no modifications provided by Debian are the cause.  If you can reproduce with a stock Python 3.6.4 (3.6.5 shortly) tarball from python.org, please feel free to reopen and show the exact steps used to build, i.e. tar, configure, and make commands.
