Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.5 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Matthias Klose (doko) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: using locale does not display the intended behavior Initial Comment: [forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/405618] the locales are available on the system; the string.lowercase constant doesn't change. bug submitter writes: Hello, if I interpret correctly http://docs.python.org/lib/node746.html the characters 'é', 'ç' and so on should be members of string.lowercase when the locale is set on a french one. But as you can see here this is not the case: % python Python 2.4.4 (#2, Oct 20 2006, 00:23:25) [GCC 4.1.2 20061015 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-16.1)] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import locale >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') 'LC_CTYPE=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_NUMERIC=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_TIME=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_COLLATE=C;LC_MONETARY=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_MESSAGES=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_PAPER=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_NAME=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_ADDRESS=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_TELEPHONE=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_MEASUREMENT=fr_BE.UTF-8;LC_IDENTIFICATION=fr_BE.UTF-8' >>> import string >>> string.lowercase 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' I also tried to import string before the setlocale call or before the import locale call but it did not work either. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1633600&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
