STINNER Victor <victor.stin...@haypocalc.com> added the comment: Oh! I think that I understood the problem: if HAVE_WCSFTIME is not defined, timemodule.c uses strftime(), instead of wcsftime(), encode input format and decode the format. It uses UTF-8 to encode/decode, whereas the right encoding is the locale encoding. Attached patch should fix this issue.
@Antoine: Do you have any idea why HAVE_WCSFTIME was not defined? wcsftime() is defined in <wchar.h> on Ubuntu. In configure, it is tested using AC_CHECK_FUNCS(wcsftime) ---------- components: +Unicode keywords: +patch resolution: invalid -> status: closed -> open Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23881/tzname_encoding.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5905> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
