Why is vdirsyncer choking?
I had vdirsyncer running just fine for eons, on a computer that I don't use every day (or even every week). And then about a month ago I tried to run vdirsyncer sync and it choked with:
Could not find platform independent libraries <prefix>
Could not find platform dependent libraries <exec_prefix>
Consider setting $PYTHONHOME to <prefix>[:<exec_prefix>]
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
ImportError: No module named 'encodings'
Current thread 0x00007f9038c2b740 (most recent call first):
Aborted (core dumped)
I don't remember screwing around in my python settings so I don't know why it would have just stopped working. I suspect that someone who spends more time in Python than I do these days might know what happened?
I'd like to fix this without trashing python, which currently defaults to 2.7 unless I specify that I want python3.
I found a question that cites the same error text, but the answer there recommends unsetting $PYTHONHOME and I haven't set it:
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding … SyntaxError: invalid syntax Aborted (core dumped)
shell-script python
