Tim Lyons added the comment: Surely the user of getlocale as the right to expect that the same thing (i.e. ISO language codes) would be returned on all platforms. I am looking at some code that provides special purpose date handling routines. The appropriate routine is selected by a language

R. David Murray added the comment: I had a report from a user on IRC during the bug weekend that they could not reproduce the failure on windows. So it may be dependent on the windows version. That doesn't answer your question of why it hasn't come up before, though, since my tests were don

Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment: I think that's a bug in the resetlocale() API. The correct way to reset the locale setting to defaults, it to use setlocale(category, "") The other issues here is that getlocale() appears to return non-ISO language codes on Windows. If that's indeed the

R. David Murray added the comment: It is unfunny that your program fails on Windows. Yes it is the same bug, since calendar calls getdefaultlocale. Issue 1080864 makes very interesting reading in this context. Clearly Martin is right, yet the OP seems to find the current behavior of getdefau

[issue10466] locale.py resetlocale throws exception on Windows

R. David Murray added the comment: See also issue 1699853. The problem here is that resetlocale calls getdefaultlocale, and getdefaultlocale returns something that setlocale cannot consume on Windows. For example, on my US windows system, getlocale returns ('English_United States', '1252'),
