weather package weather-2.3_1

[Dave M.]

I have weather-2.3_1 installed on FreeBSD freebsd12 12.0-RELEASE-p3 
FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC  amd64, and the command, `weather lax` 
gives the output:

Searching via airport...

     return codecs.ascii_decode(input, self.errors)[0]
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 
3699: ordinal not in range(128)

What to do, can I change to another version of Python, or change the 
shell environment?

Thanks in advance, Dave Males.
