New submission from Carmen Bianca Bakker <[email protected]>:
See the following script:
>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'eo')
'eo'
>>> my_locale = locale.getlocale()
>>> my_locale
('eo_XX', 'ISO8859-3')
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, my_locale)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python3.7/locale.py", line 604, in setlocale
return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
'eo_XX.ISO8859-3' does not exist on Fedora 29 or Debian Stretch. The only
Esperanto locales that exists are 'eo' and 'eo.utf8'. Even so, locale.py
defines the Esperanto locales as follows:
'eo': 'eo_XX.ISO8859-3',
'eo.utf8': 'eo.UTF-8',
'eo_eo': 'eo_EO.ISO8859-3',
'eo_us.utf8': 'eo_US.UTF-8',
'eo_xx': 'eo_XX.ISO8859-3',
eo_EO used to exist on Debian in the early 2000s, and eo_XX on some other
distributions. Since glibc 2.24 upstreamed Esperanto, however, it has been
'eo[.utf8]'.
I'm not sure whether 'eo_eo', 'eo_us' and/or 'eo_xx' should be removed as keys,
but 'eo' should have 'eo.UTF-8' as value.
