locale UTF-8 error

[HMA]

I am following the tutorial part 2 and when creating a superuser once the login prompt is showing (after executed python manage.py run server ).  I am using python 2.7.2 for Mac OS 10.7.3, Django 1.4 and I get the following error: 

python manage.pcreatesuperuser --username=horacio --email=horac...@gmail.com

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>

ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8

Has some got something similar and have a solution for this?

Thanks in advanced.

"UTF-8" isn't a locale name. A locale name would look like "es_ES.UTF-8".

Run "locale -a", which should give you a list of all available locales
on your machine.

I have no idea how you change locale on OS X. On BSD, you simply set
it in your environment via .profile/.cshrc.

Cheers

Thank you very much.  I edited the ~/.bash_profile file and change the LC_CTYPE env variable to a valid locale and the problem was solved.
