Strange, but I can't figure out how to switch back to the default
locale.
>>> import locale, datetime, time
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'nl_NL')
'nl_NL'
>>> date = '10 augustus 2005 om 17:26'
>>> time.strptime(date, "%d %B %Y om %H:%M")
(2005, 8, 10, 17, 26, 0, 2, 222, -1)
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
'en_US.UTF-8'
>>> date = '10 August 2005 at 17:26'
>>> time.strptime(date, "%d %B %Y at %H:%M")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/usr/lib/python2.4/_strptime.py", line 292, in strptime
raise ValueError("time data did not match format: data=%s fmt=%s"
%
ValueError: time data did not match format: data=10 August 2005 at
17:26 fmt=%d %B %Y at %H:%M
Also, locale.resetlocale() throws locale.Error (I saw some open bugs on
this).
Ugh! Is this stuff broken or is it just me?
