While installing Pootle 1.0 on Windows XP SP2, I encountered two problems.
First one was trivial. Some newly uncommented language settings in
Pootle/pootle.prefs had 3 spaces for indentation rather than 4. So I got
these error messages when I first started Pootle server.

2007-06-06 22:14:20: Error initializing server, exiting: invalid
indentation at line 441, char 9 (token '\n ')
Adding few spaces resolved the problem.
Second one was a little bit more complicated. Whenever I commited a
translation, I got UnicodeDecodeError.

UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xb4 in position 24:
ordinal not in range(128)
The black sheep was time.strftime("%z") used in
translate/storage/poheader.py. Author originally meant '+/-HHMM' format
string but python for Windows returns same value(localized time zone name)
for both "%z" and "%Z".
Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] on
win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import time
>>> time.strftime("%z")
'\xb4\xeb\xc7\xd1\xb9\xce\xb1\xb9 \xc7\xa5\xc1\xd8\xbd\xc3'
>>> time.strftime("%Z")
'\xb4\xeb\xc7\xd1\xb9\xce\xb1\xb9 \xc7\xa5\xc1\xd8\xbd\xc3'
[Returned value is '대한민국 표준시' which means 'Korean Standard
Time(KST)'.]
This is not python's fault, because time.strftime() method just uses
strftime() of C library and Win32 version strftime() behaves just like
that. ANSI C(89) does not define "%z" as a format string ,and so Win32's
strftime() is still a conforming implementation.
Anyway, we need to modify string generation code for 'PO-Revision-Date' and
'POT-Creation-Date' in order to keep platform independance. I recommend use
of time.timezone value for calculation.
I used software packages of the following versions for testing.
C:\Python24>python.exe Scripts\PootleServer --version
PootleServer 1.0
jToolkit 0.7.8
Translate Toolkit 1.0
Kid 0.9.5
ElementTree 1.2.6
Python 2.4.1 (#65, Mar 30 2005, 09:13:57) [MSC v.1310 32 bit (Intel)] (on
win32/nt)
