Package: python2.5
Version: 2.5-5
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
Expected behavior of the program below:
Running the program like this should make it match just the first
string:
LANG=POSIX python2.5 testcase.py
LANG=sv_SE python2.5 testcase.py
Running the program like this should make it match both strings:
LANG=sv_SE.utf8 python2.5 testcase.py
Actual behaviour:
Running the program like this makes it match just the first string:
LANG=POSIX python2.5 testcase.py
LANG=sv_SE.utf8 python2.5 testcase.py
Running the program like this makes it match both strings:
LANG=sv_SE python2.5 testcase.py
So it's sort of reversed. Setting the locale to just sv_SE makes it
unicode aware, while setting it to sv_SE.utf8, which is an unicode
locale, makes it _not_ unicode aware.

!/usr/bin/python
import re
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
r=re.compile(r"^\w", re.LOCALE)
l1=u"a"
l2=u"\u00E5" # LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH RING ABOVE
if r.search(l1):
print "l1 matches"
if r.search(l2):
print "l2 matches"
