Issue #4695 has been reported by Mo Morsi. ---------------------------------------- Bug #4695: Puppet should not reset locale http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4695
Author: Mo Morsi Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Affected version: Keywords: Branch: Puppet resets various locale related ENV variables to the posix default of 'C' immediately before invoked Kernel.exec to launch an executable (occurs when running a Single_exec in a recipe) http://github.com/reductivelabs/puppet/blob/master/lib/puppet/util.rb#L295 The problem is, the python interpreter will attempt to parse these variables to determine the default locale, and if it is set to 'C' (or not set at all as it will default to 'C'), 'None' will be returned, ignoring the true default locale. Thus any python script launched via Single_exec from a puppet recipe will not be able to get the default locale by invoking locale.getdefaultlocale(). This functionality is part of the standard python library and is relied upon by many various Python scripts. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
