Ronald Oussoren added the comment: The locale issue is that on a default (us english) install of 10.9 the following locale related environment variables are set:
$ set | grep UTF LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 The locale module doesn't understand the LC_CTYPE setting, and this appears to be a at best under documented feature of OSX: you can use "UTF-8" as the locale name for LC_CTYPE and this is handled sanely by libc. Issue #18378 appears to be related to this. IMHO this is a real bug and should be fixed because the locale module's documentation says it exposes the C library's functionality. ---------- status: pending -> open _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20999> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
