nyx crashes on launch with error "can't rename process to somethign longer than our initial name"

Please let me know if this belongs in the stem bugs or if any further information is required.

I installed nyx through pip on a armhf version of alpine linux (alpine doesn't seem to have nyx in its repos), but nyx immediately crashes on launch with the following error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/nyx", line 11, in <module>
    load_entry_point('nyx==2.0.4', 'console_scripts', 'nyx')()
