Georg Brandl <ge...@python.org> added the comment: This behavior is not a bug - when setting the locale, string.lowercase and friends are augmented by whatever the locale considers uppercase and lowercase letters, as byte strings. This will lead to decoding errors when these strings are combined with Unicode strings.
Either you use string.ascii_lowercase and friends, or you make sure you know what encoding the strings will be in, and decode accordingly. ---------- nosy: +georg.brandl resolution: -> wont fix status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6525> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
