Not sure if this would qualify as a patch, but a workaround that seems to be working for me is to change the bash environment's default locale setting -- to a value acceptable to py3. I did this by adding the following line to /etc/profile: export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" Presumably, other valid values should also work correctly. mario -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
