My tests were with official distributions. Yamamoto-san, thank you for your testing. I was thinking it might have been something to do with changed semantics, but I am happy you saved me the time from having to compile. Looking at the documentation for setlocale() in VS6 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa272906(VS.60).aspx) and 7 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x99tb11d(VS.71).aspx) it seems that the behaviour in VS6 (and thus Python 2.5) was flawed. The supported language options are listed at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa246450(VS.60).aspx and they do not list a "fr" combination. It seems the possibility of "fr" working might have been a remnant or a bug. The appropriate language designation should have been "fra" for the default French locale. >From my 2.6 interpreter: >>> setlocale(LC_ALL, "fra") 'French_France.1252' So this is all intended behaviour and not a bug with Python. As such I propose to close it. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5948> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
