New submission from Carmen Bianca Bakker <carmenbia...@fedoraproject.org>:
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. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 329235 nosy: carmenbianca priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: locale: setlocale(..., 'eo') sets non-existing locale versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35163> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
