From: Daniel Henrique Barboza <dhbarboza82(a)gmail.com&gt; This requirement started in a fixed Gingerbase bug (#18) that reported lscpu problems when running in a French environment. The output was being translated to french and breaking the parsing made by the backend. This is such a powder keg for all the plug-ins that I believe this patch is justified. Instead of forcing en_US language by using subprocess.Popen and setting the env, this is how run_command will behave now: - A new optional attribute, env_vars, was added. As the name suggests, it allows the setup of the environment variables to run the command. - If env_vars is not set, run_command will copy the current environment variables and set the language to the default (en_US) by setting LC_ALL='C' variable. As of now, this is the case of all the existing run_command calls in the code for all WoK plug-ins. No behavior change will happen. - If env_vars is set, but the LC_ALL var isn't, run_command will set it to 'C' and force the default language. - If env_vars is set and LC_ALL is also set, run_command will not touch it and will run with env_vars as is. This allows the caller to set the language at will.
