Docker Python set utf-8 locale

Question

I am trying to run my python file that first reads a string in Chinese language and print it.

This is my Dockerfile

FROM python:2.7-onbuild
ENV LANG          


        

Answer 1

I add the below command in my docker file：

RUN locale-gen en_US.UTF-8
ENV LANG='en_US.UTF-8' LANGUAGE='en_US:en' LC_ALL='en_US.UTF-8'

then build/rebuild docker images, you'd better add this in the base image.
