Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: UTF-8 works on SuSE Enterprise Linux 9 and 10 as well.
BTW, neither UTF8 nor UTF-8 work on HPUX 10. That platform requires spelling it as utf8. This sadly enought means that this code doesn't work on HPUX 10: >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, locale.getdefaultlocale()) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/opt/python2.7/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 531, in setlocale return _setlocale(category, locale) locale.Error: unsupported locale setting That's because getdefaultlocale returns 'UTF8' as the encoding, even though LANG is set to 'nl_NL.utf8' (which is a working locale on the machine I tested). BTW. I'm +1 on changing the alias table as Marc-Andre proposed. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10154> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
