locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

[Thomas Bechtold]

While running a fresh devstack installation on ubuntu 14.04, I got:

ubuntu@tb-manila-devstack:~/devstack$ openstack user list
Traceback (most recent call last):

FWIW, the error is caused by missing locale environment variables or other defaults.
