The test_get_env_path_var and test_get_env_path_no_var tests in test_utils.py fail with LANG=C (or when filesystem encoding on Windows is configured to certain values). This is due to the use of sys.getfilesystemencoding() which may not return an encoding which the set of characters in a Unicode string in Python, may be converted to. When this happens, a UnicodeEncodeError occurs, causing the tests to fail.
