Setting the locale to just sv_SE makes it unicode aware, while setting it to sv_SE.utf8, which is an unicode locale, makes it _not_ unicode aware. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- !/usr/bin/python import re import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') r=re.compile(r"^\w", re.LOCALE) l1=u"a" l2=u"\u00E5" # LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE if r.search(l1): print "l1 matches" if r.search(l2): print "l2 matches" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16.58 Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages python2.5 depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.3-6 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13etch4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdb4.4 4.4.20-8 Berkeley v4.4 Database Libraries [ ii libncursesw5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-2 GNU readline and history libraries ii libsqlite3-0 3.3.8-1.1 SQLite 3 shared library ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8c-4etch1 SSL shared libraries ii mime-support 3.39-1 MIME files 'mime.types' & 'mailcap ii python2.5-minimal 2.5-5 A minimal subset of the Python lan python2.5 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---This bug has been reported against an ancient version of python (2.5/3.1), that was last released with Debian 6.0 (squeeze). But even squeeze-lts has now reached end-of-life and is no longer supported. The bug is assumed to be fixed (or no longer relevant) in newer python releases and therefore I'm closing this report now. If the problem is still reproducible in the currently supported versions (python2.7, python3.5/python3.6), feel free to provide more information, reopen and reassign this bug report. Andreas
