Package: python2.4
Version: 2.4.4-1
Severity: normal
Hello, if I interpret correctly http://docs.python.org/lib/node746.html
the characters 'é', 'ç' and so on should be members of
string.lowercase when the locale is set on a french one.
But as you can see here this is not the case:

Python 2.4.4 (#2, Oct 20 2006, 00:23:25)
[GCC 4.1.2 20061015 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-16.1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
'LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_TIME=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_MESSAGES=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_NAME=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_ADDRESS=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_TELEPHONE=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_BE.UTF-8'
>>> import string
>>> string.lowercase
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
I also tried to import string before the setlocale call or before the
import locale call but it did not work either.

This issue has been solved at least with python2.6, which is the
default Python version in Squeeze and supported in Wheezy.
