R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: This is definately a bug in 3.1, for the same reason that a C program uses the C locale until an explicit setlocale is done: otherwise, a non-locale-aware program can run into bugs resulting from locale issues when run under a different locale than that of the program author.
I have a memory of this being reported before somewhere and someone tracking it down to a change in python initialization, but I can't find a bug report and my google-foo is failing me. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray priority: normal -> release blocker stage: -> needs patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6203> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
