OS X does not automatically set LANG in all "launch" environments. Terminal.app in 10.5 and 10.6 has a preference to "set locale environment variables on startup" so, if you are running under it, you'll see LANG set. But if you execute via launchd or ssh (for instance), it will not automatically be set unless you do something like explicitly set and export it in a shell startup file. -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
