Answer 1

I had the same issue on Mac OS X with Anaconda (Python 2). I tried importing the pandas package in python repl, and got this error:

ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8

Therefore, I've added the following lines to my ~/.bash_profile:

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

And this has fixed the issue for me.
