The same bug occurs for me. Pertinent environment variables are:
LANG="en_IN"
LANGUAGE="en_IN:en_US:en_GB:en"
Typing:
$ LANG="" pybliographic
works fine

Changed in pybliographer:
status: Unconfirmed → Confirmed

I had a look at the set of locales on my machine, and interestingly, POSIX doesn't have a UTF-8 variant - as seen by running 'locale -a'.
Sounds like whatever sets the locale to POSIX.UTF8 should think again about that (en_IN has the same issue).

It might also be a reasonable thing to add something like
try:
    locale.setlocale (locale.LC_ALL, '')
except locale.Error:
    pass

on line 35 of pybliographer.py.
