[yocto] Python3: Unable to get the locale encoding (Yocto/daisy)

[Mikhail Zakharov]

Hi all,

We are using yocto daisy 1.6.1  and added 'python3' to our local.conf
when building 'core-image-minimal' , however we get the following error
when invoking the interpreter in  on target:

Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ImportError: No module named 'encodings'

Could someone please share a possible cause/solution to this?

Thanks and regards,
Mikhail
