Hello -

I'm attempting to "dump servers" according to documentation at
https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/4.24/import_export_servers.html... I
tried searching your archives for dump-servers but got "no hits". Seems
unlikely, maybe something screwy with the search but there is no help
anywhere that I can find.

It fails with an error " ModuleNotFoundError: No module named
'encodings'". Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I did try setting the env
variables PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH to several different things in the
"\Program Files\pgAdmin 4\v4" tree but not sure what it wants, if that even
matters. I do see the servers in the Web app.

This is the pgAdmin4 v 4.24 Windows 64-bit version on Windows 10 added via
the installer. I am not sure if I am running in "server or desktop mode"
but probably desktop?

C:\Users\redacted> "\Program Files\pgAdmin 4\v4\runtime\python.exe"
"\Program Files\pgAdmin 4\v4\web\setup.py" --dump-servers pgservers.json

Python path configuration:

PYTHONHOME = (not set)

PYTHONPATH = (not set)

program name = '\Program Files\pgAdmin 4\v4\runtime\python.exe'

isolated = 0

environment = 1

user site = 1

import site = 1

sys._base_executable = 'C:\\Program Files\\pgAdmin
4\\v4\\runtime\\python.exe'

sys.base_prefix = ''

sys.base_exec_prefix = ''

sys.executable = 'C:\\Program Files\\pgAdmin
4\\v4\\runtime\\python.exe'

sys.prefix = ''

sys.exec_prefix = ''

sys.path = [

'C:\\Program Files\\pgAdmin 4\\v4\\runtime\\python38.zip',

'.\\DLLs',

'.\\lib',

'C:\\Program Files\\pgAdmin 4\\v4\\runtime',

]

Fatal Python error: init_fs_encoding: failed to get the Python codec of
the filesystem encoding
