profiling fails with python error with non-us codepage

Developer Tools Nsight Compute

Hello

If I have system codepage set to non English(US) one, then during profiling I get:

==PROF== Profiling ::TestKernel:0: Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can’t initialize sys standard streams
LookupError: unknown encoding: cp866

Thanks,
Sergey.

Sergey,

I think this is a known issue, and the same as mentioned here: https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1047149/nsight-compute-/nsight-compute-won-t-run-on-non-english-windows/

Can you please try the workaround in that post? We are looking to fix this issue in a future release of Nsight Compute.

Hi,

Right, thanks for alternative workaround.
What I did was to switch back to English-US codepage until you guys fix it.

Regards
Sergey.
