New submission from Paul Monson <paulm...@gmail.com>:
Need to work around a CRT bug in the use of _tzset() + _tzname[] Calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "") on a system where GetACP() returns CP_UTF8 results in empty strings in _tzname[]. This causes time.tzname to be an empty string. I have reported the bug. One possible workaround is to temporarily change the locale by calling setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "C") before calling _tzset and restore the current locale after if the GetACP() == CP_UTF8 or CP_UTF7 ---------- messages: 341318 nosy: Paul Monson priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: strptime returns empty string on Windows if default codepage is a Unicode codepage _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36779> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
