New submission from tierlieb: Within locale.py in setlocale your have this piece of code:
if locale and type(locale) is not type(""): # convert to string locale = normalize(_build_localename(locale)) That does not work with unicode strings as I found out after wondering quite a bit about the difference was between my tests and my production code... So either expand the check here to include type(u"") or make _build_localename smarter. ---------- components: Unicode messages: 255461 nosy: ezio.melotti, haypo, tierlieb priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: locale.setlocale does not work with unicode strings versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25742> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
