Thanks, I just tried this. The line locale.setlocale... throws an
error:

"locale.Error: unsupported locale setting"

Trying other ideas instead of 'de' results in more of the same.
'' results in no errors.

The output I get is this:

3.4.2 (default, Oct  8 2014, 10:45:20) 
[GCC 4.9.1]
0.22.0
0.0002048

Scratching my head and speculating: I run this in a Virtualenv
I have created for Jupyter and pandas and whatever I feel I need
for this. Could locale be undefined or something that causes this?
