os.environ["LC_ALL"] = "en_US.UTF-8"
should do what you want (after locale-gen, but en_US.UTF-8 is always
present on Ubuntu systems based on official images if I am not
mistaken; if not, use C.UTF-8 which is the name for "POSIX locale in
UTF-8").
You can always check what the locale is active by running "locale"
(just like that).

FWIW, calling out to locale.setlocale() will not help because that sets
the in-process locale, and will not apply to external programs.
Cheers,
