Martin v. Löwis added the comment: I think too many issues get mixed in this report. I would like to ignore all but one issue, but I don't understand what the one issue is that this report should deal with.
cartman, when you compare Python 2.4 and 2.5, could it be that the 2.4 Python was compiled --with-wctype-functions, and the 2.5 Python --without-wctype-functions? That would surely explain the difference. The Unicode lower/upper implementations are, by default, locale-inaware. That is correct behavior, and by design. If you want locale-dependent behavior, use 8-bit strings as Guido says. ISTM that the original report was resolved - the tests don't support --with-wctype-functions. This is because they assume that they know that LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS is a letter - which may not be the case if the isletter test is locale-specific. If this is too be fixed, the proper fix would be to just remove the test, which I advise against - instead, the best behavior that Python should implement is the current one, i.e. it is a good thing that the test fails --with-wctype-functions. Perhaps a comment should be attached explaining the potential breakage. __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue1609> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
