[issue1703592] have a way to ignore nonexisting locales in locale.setlocale
Barry A. Warsaw ba...@python.org added the comment: Certainly at a minimum, the docs should describe the exception and workaround instead of just: setlocale() is not thread safe on most systems. Applications typically start with a call of import locale locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') This sets the locale for all categories to the user’s default setting (typically specified in the LANG environment variable). If the locale is not changed thereafter, using multithreading should not cause problems. +0 for a new function in Python 3.2. For Python 2.7 though, we can't really add that new function or change the behavior of setlocale() so I'm not sure what the right thing to do is. A documentation change is probably as good as it's going to get for Python 2. -- nosy: +barry ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1703592 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Colin Watson cjwat...@users.sourceforge.net added the comment: Yes, the same symptoms are still present. I'd argue that it generally isn't an error in practice for applications, and thus the net effect of this exception is negative; it's extraordinarily rare for a crash to be preferable to running without localisation. Adding a new function would help because I think it would be easier to persuade people to call a new function that just does what they want (turn on localisation if possible) than to catch an exception (at which point they have to think hm, could that exception be for some other reason than you-just-don't-have-that-locale, etc.). -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue1703592 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
