I solved it: just use "apt-get install letsencrypt". Super lame, but it works now

I managed to get it working on Ubuntu 16.04 Server LTS. I deleted the apt-get installed setuptools, reinstalled with pip and it worked. If you get setuptools complaining about the locale, make sure you have locales set.

I resolved the issue by setting the locale variables. Without these, the script seems to break.
export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

For those who might have a look at it, and compared to other configuration tasks to be initially done on ubuntu, configuring locales seems opaque. Which guide could one recommend ?

This helped me:

> locale-gen en_US en_US.UTF-8
> dpkg-reconfigure locales

same issue, apt-get install letsencrypt does not help to resolve that. To resolve that issue I had to:

~ # apt-get install python-pip
~ # pip install setuptools
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/pip", line 11, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 215, in main
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 581, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

then

~ # export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
-bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
~ # export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
~ # pip install setuptools
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): setuptools in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 9.0.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

... then ...

~ # pip install --upgrade setuptools

now it works. So I assume "setuptools" in Ubuntu 16.04 LTS are just too old.
