Ronald Oussoren added the comment: With the following C code:
#include <locale.h> #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { char* res = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "UTF-8"); printf("Result: %s\n", res); res = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "UTF-9"); printf("Result: %s\n", res); return 0; } /* EOF */ I get the following output: Result: UTF-8 Result: (null) That is, UTF-8 is a valid locale for LC_CTYPE, and as expected some other string isn't. BTW. "UTF-8" is only a valid locale for LC_CTYPE, not for other categories (when you change LC_CTYPE to LC_ALL both calls return NULL). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18378> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
