New submission from Saulius Žemaitaitis:
Steps to reproduce:
python2.7 -c "import locale; locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, u'en_US')"
Raises: ValueError: too many values to unpack
Problem lies in locale.py file from the standard library. It checks if locale
is string incorrectly:
if locale and type(locale) is not type(""):
# convert to string
locale = normalize(_build_localename(locale))
I think it should instead check if locale is basestring:
locale and not isinstance(locale, basestring):
# <..>
If above fix looks correct I'll submit it as a patch.
