System Information

Asciinema version: 2.1.0
Python version: 3.9.7
OS: Android 10 (on Termux 0.117)

Bug Description

Command asciinema exits prematurely with the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/bin/asciinema", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/asciinema/__main__.py", line 29, in main
    if locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET).upper() not in ['US-ASCII', 'UTF-8', 'UTF8']:
AttributeError: module 'locale' has no attribute 'nl_langinfo'

Relevant documentation:

locale.nl_langinfo(option)

Return some locale-specific information as a string. This function is not available on all systems, and the set of possible options might also vary across platforms.
Python 3.8 documentation

Alternative: Use locale.getlocale().

I guess we could catch the above exception and fallback to locale.getlocale.
