Flake8 crashed! TypeError: unorderable types: str() > int()

See original GitHub issue

My linter-flake8 reports that Flake8 crashed:

main.js [sm]:201 linter-flake8:: Flake8 returned an error Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/keisuke.nakata/.pyenv/versions/3.5.1/lib/python3.5/site-packages/flake8/checker.py", line 471, in run_ast_checks

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

TypeError: unorderable types: str() > int()

I found that linter-flake8 crashes when a file contains non-ascii characters (in my case, Japanese ones). Executing flake8 from terminal works fine.

Thank you in advance!

@keisuke-nakata maybe can help you. export to your shell.

export LANG='en_US.UTF-8'
export LC_CTYPE='UTF-8'

worked for me.

Note also that flake8 currently ignores encodings for stdin input (which is how it is called here), this is fixed in their master branch but hasn’t yet been released.
