Ronald Oussoren <ronaldousso...@mac.com> added the comment: The manpage says that nl_langinfo returns an empty string when there is an invalid setting.
There is validity in saying that 'LANG=utf-8' is an invalid setting, the LANG variable is supposed to a locale name, which would be a language setting (possibly combined with a codeset definition). "utf-8" is not a language. I wouldn't mind falling back to utf-8 as the default codeset when nl_langinfo returns an empty string because utf-8 is the default character set on OSX, and furthermore defaulting to some value is way better than crashing. I do wonder how the user ended up with LANG=utf-8 in the first place. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6393> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
