This issuse is now 2 years old and it doesn't have a clear description. It started with "just compiling and installing from source on OpenSUSE 42.3", then switched to "I got the source directly from www.python.org" to finish with "I also have the same problem (...) on the latest version of CentOS 7".

I close the issue.

If someone wants to reopen the issue, please clearly explains:

* how you get Python
* did you apply any patch on it
* how did you configure Python? (configure command)
* how did you built Python?
* how did you install Python?
* how do you run Python?
* what is your operating system?
* what is your locale (LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE and LANG environment variable)?
* do you have any environment variable with a name starting with PYTHON?

So far, we only got unclear bug reports with partial information and we could only guess what the reporter did.

Since this issue started with OpenSuSE downstream patches, I mark also this issue as a duplicate of bpo-1294959.
