La instalación reciente de sphinx-quickstart falla

Question

Tratando de que funcione con Sphinx por primera vez, con una instalación limpia de Sphinx 1.1.3, y shinx-quickstart falla. ¿Debería haber alguna dependencia instalada? Traté de pip --force-reinstall sphinx pero el resultado es el mismo.

myhost:doc anton$ sphinx-quickstart

    ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8

Estaba teniendo el mismo problema en Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Parece ser un problema con Terminal.app.

Por favor, añada lo siguiente a tu $ HOME/.bash_profile

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 

Do

source $HOME/.bash_profile 

y tratar. Esto resolverá el problema.
