Can you say on which Linux platform/release you see this behavior and with which Python 3.6.3, i.e. from the platform distributor or built yourself? If I understand your concern correctly, I cannot reproduce that behavior on a current Debian test system using either the Debian-supplied 3.6.6rc1 or with a 3.6.3 built from source. With either LANG unset or set to C (and with no LC* env vars set), I see: $ unset LC_ALL LC_CTYPE LANG LANGUAGE $ ./python Python 3.6.3 (tags/v3.6.3:2c5fed86e0, Jun 22 2018, 16:08:11) [GCC 7.3.0] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import locale >>> locale.getlocale() (None, None) >>> locale.getdefaultlocale() (None, None) Note that, as documented, the locale.getdefaultlocale() checks several env vars 'LC_ALL', 'LC_CTYPE', 'LANG' and 'LANGUAGE'. Are you certain that all of those env vars are unset when you run this test? https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/locale.html#locale.getdefaultlocale ---------- nosy: +ned.deily versions: -Python 3.4, Python 3.5, Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33934> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
