Summary: locale.resetlocale is broken
Initial Comment:
locale.setlocale doesn't recognize the the format that
locale.py uses to set the locale, ie. no_NO and
friends.
The only way I've succeeded in setting the locale on
Python 2.1 is to use the format described in the
Visual C++ C-runtime library docs for setlocale where
a more verbose format is used to set the locale.

As this is not Windows specific, setting Category to Library.

Still reproducible with Python 2.4:
Python 2.4b2 (#19, Nov 8 2004, 11:15:07)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-2)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> import locale
>>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
['en_US', 'utf']
>>> locale.resetlocale()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/home/johannes/python/Lib/locale.py", line 389, in
resetlocale
_setlocale(category, _build_localename(getdefaultlocale()))
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
Note that if I run python with 'LANG=nl_NL python', the
error does not occur.
http://python.org/sf/813449 seems to be the same bug, BTW.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the testcase I am using. The
test case that fails is the locale module itself, when
running it as a standalone application that is.
To be more specific:
File "d:\devtools\python21\lib\locale.py", line 384, in
resetlocale
_setlocale(category, _build_localename(getdefaultlocale
()))
locale.Error: locale setting not supported
And to clarify what input getdefaultlocale returns on my
machine:
>>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
('no_NO', 'cp1252')
and:
>>> locale._build_localename(locale.getdefaultlocale())
'no_NO.cp1252'
By the way, is this bug fixed in python 2.2?

Can you provide a detailed test case? AFAIK, no_NO is indeed
no supported locale name on Windows, and I don't think
Python aanywhere uses it without the application explicitly
saying so.

Mark, know anything about this? I don't.
