LookupError: unknown encoding: C

As far as I can tell, this is caused by the following code fragment in /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyQt5/pylupdate_main.py:

def _encoded_path(path):
encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]
if encoding is None:
# fall back to the C encoding
encoding = "C"
return path.encode(encoding)

The problem seem to be that 'C' is not working as a encoding string.
Perhaps it would be better to use 'utf-8' instead, ref
<URL: https://docs.python.org/3/howto/unicode.html >? In other words, something like this:

encoding = locale.getdefaultlocale()[1]

The warning make me suspect it should switch to getencoding() instead,
though. :)
