Comment (by [email protected]):
I'm also Mac OS X Leopard user and I have same problem.
{{{
# locale
LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=
# python -c 'import locale; print(locale.getdefaultlocale());'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/locale.py",
line 441, in getdefaultlocale
return _parse_localename(localename)
File
"/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/locale.py",
line 373, in _parse_localename
raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8
}}}
When I simply exported variable LANG:
{{{
# export LANG=ru_RU.UTF
# locale
LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
}}}
I had same error again.
But when I did export for LC_CTYPE:
{{{
# export LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8
# locale
LANG="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
# python -c 'import locale; print(locale.getdefaultlocale());'
('ru_RU', 'UTF8')
}}}
It is because the sequence of environment variables check in python:
LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG, LANGUAGE.
Note for Mac users:
{{{
# export LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8
# locale
LANG=
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_CTYPE="ru_RU.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_ALL=
}}}
