Not sure if this would qualify as a patch, but a workaround that seems
to be working for me is to change the bash environment's default
locale setting -- to a value acceptable to py3.

I did this by adding the following line to /etc/profile:

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

Presumably, other valid values should also work correctly.
