as a note: even though this works again, while looking at this i found there
may still be room for improvement in the way planet tries to set the locale in
the first place.. the code is:
---
if config.has_option("Planet", "locale"):
# The user can specify more than one locale (separated by ":") as
# fallbacks.
locale_ok = False
for user_locale in config.get("Planet", "locale").split(':'):
user_locale = user_locale.strip()
try:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, user_locale)
except locale.Error:
pass
else:
locale_ok = True
break
if not locale_ok:
print >>sys.stderr, "Unsupported locale setting."
sys.exit(1)
---
But people say:
"You should not pass an explicit locale to setlocale, it is wrong. Let it find
out from the environment. You have to pass it an empty string"
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/955986/what-is-the-correct-way-to-set-pythons-locale
and problems in general with this not working cross-platform
"correct locale name has different names on different installations of python."
