investigate encoding failure

Ran into this error during analyze example running on an older ubuntu 18.04 system system that had LANG=en_US by default.

UnicodeEncodeError: 'latin-1' codec can't encode characters in position 0-107: ordinal not in range(256)

Updating to LANG=en_US.UTF-8 fixed the issue.

We presumably always want to use utf-8 coding....

Simplest solution seems to be using Python's locale module, however, it's worth noting setlocal() only sets LANG for the current process...
