New submission from Pierre Nugues:
Greek letters are not properly sorted when a locale is set. I tested a French
and a Greek locales. Here is an output obtained from the Python interactive
shell available from the python.org home page:
In [22]: a
Out[22]:
('Ά',
'Γ',
'Η',
'Κ',
'Ν',
'Ο',
'έ',
'ί',
'α',
'β',
'γ',
'δ',
'ε',
'ζ',
'ι',
'κ',
'λ',
'μ',
'ν',
'ο',
'ς',
'τ',
'φ',
'χ',
'ό',
'ϐ',
'Ἀ',
'ῖ')
In [26]: sorted(a, key=locale.strxfrm)
Out[26]:
['Ἀ',
'ῖ',
'α',
'Ά',
'β',
'ϐ',
'Γ',
'γ',
'δ',
'ε',
'έ',
'ζ',
'Η',
'ι',
'ί',
'Κ',
'κ',
'λ',
'μ',
'Ν',
'ν',
'Ο',
'ο',
'ό',
'ς',
'τ',
'φ',
'χ']
The letter 'ῖ' is wrongly sorted. You can try to sort the same character list
with the ICU demonstration to see the correct ordering here:
