Serhiy While normalize can return sd...@devanagari.utf-8, _parse_localename()
Serhiy should be able correctly parse it.
But if normalize returns sd...@devanagari.utf-8, isn’t that quite
useless because it is a locale name which does not actually work
in glibc
Mike FABIAN added the comment:
Serhiy, in your patch you seem to have special treatment for
the devanagari modifier:
+# Devanagari modifier placed before encoding.
+return code, modifier.split('.')[1]
Probably because of
'ks_in@devanagari

Serhiy The /usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias file in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Serhiy contains ks...@devanagari.utf-8 and sd...@devanagari.utf-8
Serhiy entities.
Yes, I know, that’s why I wrote that the Python code inherited this mistake
from X.org.

Mike FABIAN added the comment:
In glibc, sd...@devanagari.utf-8 is an invalid locale name,
only sd_IN.UTF-8@devanagari is valid:
mfabian@ari:~
$ LC_ALL=sd_IN.UTF-8@devanagari locale charmap
UTF-8
mfabian@ari:~
$ LC_ALL=sd...@devanagari.utf-8 locale charmap

I found that Serbian translations in Latin do not work when the locale
name is written as sr_RS.UTF-8@latin (one gets the cyrillic
translations instead), but they *do* work when

The problem turns out to be caused by a problem in normalizing
the locale name, see the output of this test program:
mfabian@ari:~
$ cat ~/tmp/mike-test.py
#!/usr/bin/python2
import sys
import os
import locale
import encodings
import encodings.aliases
Mike FABIAN added the comment:
A simple fix for that problem could look like this:
mfabian@ari:~
$ diff -u /usr/lib64/python2.7/locale.py.orig /usr/lib64/python2.7/locale.py
--- /usr/lib64/python2.7/locale.py.orig 2013-11-09 09:08:24.807331535 +0100
+++ /usr/lib64/python2.7/locale.py 2013
Mike FABIAN added the comment:
in locale.py, the comment above “locale_alias = {” says:
# Note that the normalize() function which uses this tables
# removes '_' and '-' characters from the encoding part of the
# locale name before doing the lookup. This saves a lot of
# space in the table
Mike FABIAN added the comment:
I think the patch I attach here is a better fix than the
patch in http://bugs.python.org/msg202469 because
it makes the normalize() function behave more logical overall,
with this patch, my test program prints:

The patch
http://bugs.python.org/file32552/0001-Issue-19534-fix-normalize-in-locale.py-to-make-it-wo.patch
is against the current HEAD of the 2.7 branch, but
Python 3.3 has exactly the same problem, the same patch fixes it for python
3.3 as well
