Same happens when someone pastes an error onto a mailing list like this. Unless there's some easily-identifiable token (maybe the exception type doesn't get localized, though that has its own consequences) by which everyone world-over can recognize the exception, this would be a major nuisance. Also, once the interpreter core and a few parts of the stdlib get localized, this would add a barrier to entry for new modules... not sure this is a good thing. Can we internationalize English instead of localizing Python? Not-entirely-joking-ly yours, ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
