Locale defaults as determined by getdefaultlocale():
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Language: en_US
Encoding: UTF8
..
Locale settings after calling resetlocale():
------------------------------------------------------------------------
File "Lib/locale.py", line 548, in resetlocale
_setlocale(category, _build_localename(getdefaultlocale()))
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
Apparently the problem is due to locale.getdefaultlocale() returning encoding as 'UTF8' while locale.setlocale() expects 'UTF-8'.

I've applied a fix for bpo-10154 and that also fixes this problem.
