It turns out this is a problem on all Unix systems using ncurses past version
5.3.
As of version 5.4 and later you need a setlocale() call first. Within Python
this is equivalent to:

import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

After that you can do something like:

code = locale.getpreferredencoding()

And use code's value in the string.encode() method as encoding parameter.
