A.M. Kuchling added the comment: It doesn't seem to me that we've really deprecated getdefaultlocale() -- it's not documented as such, and MAL makes the good point that getdefaultlocale() is trying to avoid calling setlocale().
Perhaps this is just a documentation problem? _build_localename() just glues together the language code and the encoding, resulting in things like en_US.ISO8859-1, which turns out to not work. So maybe we should document that getdefaultlocale() will sometimes guess wrong. ---------- nosy: +akuchling _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue504219> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
