New submission from Vlada Peric <vlada.pe...@gmail.com>: The sr_RS locale in glibc corresponds to the Cyrillic script, while the agreed upon locale for the Latin alphabet is sr...@latin. Unfortunately, the locale python module crashes when trying to parse this locale. Here is the traceback:
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 497, in get locale return _parse_localename(localename) File "usr/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 410, in _parse_localename raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename Looking at the code, it only checks for the @euro modifier and ignores all other modifiers (including @latin). This is all when I set lang=sr...@latin. If I use lang=sr_rs.u...@latin (also allowed by glibc), Python interprets this as the sr_RS locale (which is wrong, as that is for Cyrillic). ---------- components: Unicode messages: 91404 nosy: VPeric severity: normal status: open title: locale.py: can't parse sr...@latin locale type: crash versions: Python 2.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6668> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
