can't install pika with "--no-binary :all:" and "LANG=C"

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

A little bug report. When we try to install pika without wheels, for example with

pip install  --no-binary :all: pika

it works if LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8

But, on a blank virtualenv, if I do

export LANG=C
pip install  --no-binary :all: pika

it fails with:
