I'm confused by the above paragraph. I had to spend a longer while to
see that it really means "if you want to use eselect-python to manage

wondered what is the meaning of COMMAND and ARGUMENTS. Would be nice to
make it more clear.

I'd suggest s/users/you, or maybe "make sure you have set locale".

nit: occuring -> occurring
