[Github-comments] [geany/geany-plugins] [debugger] freezes when python .pth files have non ASCII bytes (Issue #1143)

> why would the debugger plugin use python code.

The debugger plugin is a UI to run the GDB debugger, which has Python embedded in it as an [extension language](https://sourceware.org/gdb/onlinedocs/gdb/Python.html#Python).

Clearly Geany and therefore the spawned GDB seem to be being run in an ASCII locale (probably the default "C" locale).

Are you starting Geany from the command line or a desktop menu? If menu try from the command line.  Many menus do not run a shell, they just fork the program, so if you set the locale in one of your shell startup scripts it will not be set when Geany runs.
