You say that often, but I don't really know why. It's certainly portable between various Unix platforms, perhaps not Windows, but then i18n on Windows is a different story altogether. BTW: For Windows, you can adjust setlocale() to work thread-based using: _configthreadlocale() (http://msdn.microsoft.com/de-de/library/26c0tb7x(v=vs.80).aspx) Perhaps we ought to expose this in _locale and use it in getdefaultlocal() on Windows to query the locale settings via the pseudocode I posted. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6203> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
