What should I do if scriptForPI does not start at all?

In some cases, scriptForPI.py does not start at all with an error like:

CASA <2>: execfile('scriptForPI.py')
 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

One reason for this error is the language setting in your machine. This setting can be checked by the command "echo $LANG". If it returns non-English language (e.g. ja_JP.UTF-8 for Japanese), setting it to English (e.g. en_US.UTF-8) can fix the problem.
