What you can do in the meantime is this: ```python from obspy import read from obspy.io.mseed.util import get_start_and_end_time path = '/tmp/proof.mseed' st = read(path) assert len(st) == 1 tr =...

See also https://github.com/obspy/obspy/issues/1913#issuecomment-336155562 for some code snippets around rotating to/from UVW..

@LMurrayBergquist maybe you could work on this one. Basically that would be adding an option `->UVW` to `Stream.rotate()`. Easiest probably would be to internally call a rotate to `->ZNW` first...

I came across this topic after looking at https://docs.obspy.org/tutorial/code_snippets/seismometer_correction_simulation.html which is in utter need of updating.. it's still encouraging to use xseed `Parser` when all that has already been integrated...

The solution in the linked matplotlib issue looks reasonable to me.. maybe just do the same?

Anaconda also has a [troubleshooting item on MacOSX and encoding problems..](http://conda.pydata.org/docs/troubleshooting.html#issue-valueerror-unknown-locale-utf-8-on-os-x) ;-)
