Hi I am extracting strings containing dates from some files in a pyqt app, and I want to use datetime.strptime to format them.
But this won't work as Qapplication seem to alter my locales. I found this topic : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14684513/datetime-strptime-doesnt-work-in-pyqt4-qtgui-qwidget-inherited-class So if I use : os.putenv("LANG", "C"), it will indeed work. My questions are the following : - Why does PyQt change the locales ? Is there some documentation on this I could read ? More "pythonic" questions, but related to the problem : - Is it OK to use os.putenv on all platforms ? The python documentation says it is not always provided. (locale.setlocale is platform dependent). Setting the value directly in os.environ may causes memory leaks on some platforms. - Are there some specific problems I could have if I use the "C" option ? What will be the influence on the pyqt app ? - Is there perhaps a known alternative to datetime.strptime, where I can define the locale temporarily or which works with pyqt ? Thanks in advance Michka Popoff
