New submission from Erik Bray <erik.m.b...@gmail.com>: Several of the tests in test_c_locale_coercion (particularly LocaleCoercionTests._check_c_locale_coercion) tend to assume that the system default locale used when setting setlocale(category, "") and when all the relevant environment variables are empty/blank will be the "C"/"POSIX" locale.
While this is often true POSIX does not require this to be the case. For example on Cygwin it already defaults to "C.UTF-8", so these tests fail because they assume the legacy coercion will be used, when it isn't (e.g. the LC_CTYPE environment variable does not get forced to "C.UTF-8"). In principle this can affect any platform, however, that chooses a different default. ---------- components: Tests messages: 306019 nosy: erik.bray, ncoghlan priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: test_c_locale_coercion fails when the default LC_CTYPE != "C" type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue32002> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
