New submission from Stephen J. Turnbull <step...@xemacs.org>: Which causes the locale machinery to spit exceptions, and the program to die, usually (eg, hg).
This manifests naturally on an Intel Mac, Mac OS X 10.5.7, but the problem behavior is in _build_localename. When called as _build_localename((None,'any_string')) it returns 'C.any_string'. I don't know of any system that supports anything but the POSIX portable character set in the C/POSIX locale, so this is clearly wrong. I suggest that when the first component of the argument is None, the second component should be ignored. Probably my Mac is misconfigured, but I think this is still a bug that should be fixed. Observed in all of 2.5.4, 2.6.2, and 3.0.1 (vanilla MacPorts builds). References: It's possible this is related to issue1699853, issue1176504, issue504219, but I don't think fixing this will help with those issues. It is not related to issue3067. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 89537 nosy: sjt severity: normal status: open title: locale._build_localename(locale.getdefaultlocale()) returns 'C.mac-roman' type: behavior versions: Python 2.5, Python 2.6, Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6315> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
