[pygtk] PyGtk and Input Methods

[Glen Malley]

Hi, I'm new to the list so bear with me. I read through the archives looking for a solution to my problem, consulted various gurus, etc, but cannot find anything. When using PyGtk, if I set my LANG environ variable to a Japanese one prior to running my application, I can use Japanese input methods as per usual in Gtk apps. However, if I set the LANG environ variable to the same value within the code itself, the input methods are not enabled. This problem of environment variables "not really" being changed has occurred in Python before...namely when using the Sybase DB drivers and setting the SYBASE environment variable. The variable was not *really* changed, and the Sybase drivers segfaulted. I realize this must be some kind of problem in Python's os.environ implementation....but I was wondering if anyone had any comments on how to solve this issue in PyGtk? Frankly, changing my environment variables and then running my code in a child process (which inherents the environment from the code fine) doesn't seem like a very elegant way of doing things. For the record, I'm using LANG and LOCALE both set to "ja_JP.ujis". This works with the Gtk apps I've tried it on, as well as my own code when it is set prior to calling the interpreter. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, I'd appreciate it. Thanks. _______________________________________________ pygtk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.daa.com.au/mailman/listinfo/pygtk
