I do have Python 2.4 and 2.3 installed but the environment
variable PYTHON is set to C:\Python24.

I have checked to see that no Python process is running
before repeating the test this morning.  I get the same results.

Is there any other check I should make?

This is probably invalid.  It looks like you may have
multiple python versions running on your system and that the
pydoc batch file is invoking an earlier version of the
interpreter that doesn't understand multiline imports).

When you write, "pydoc sys", your relying on a file
association for py files to get run by python23.  The
association is not controlled by the PYTHON environment
variable.

Anyway, it is evident from the initial report that there is
not a bug.  When "python pydoc.py sys" runs fine, it means
that your sys file is okay.  When it fails using "pydoc sys"
it means an earlier version of the interpreter is being run
on the Py2.4 sys file.  To convince yourself, change to
c:\python23\lib and run "pydoc sys".

Summary: cjkcodec compile error under AIX 5.2 on symbol 100_encode

Initial Comment:
Trying to compile Python 2.4.1 under AIX 5.2 with the
native cc compiler.  When compiling the module
cjkcodecs the compiler will fail with these errors on
the source file Modules/cjkcodecs/_codecs_cn.c

building '_codecs_cn' extension
cc -DNDEBUG -O -I.
-I/home/psgtools/aix52/build/Python-2.4.1/./Include

/home/psgtools/aix52/build/Python-2.4.1/Modules/cjkcodecs/_codecs_cn.c
-o build/temp.aix-5.2-2.4/_codecs_cn.o
"/home/psgtools/aix52/build/Python-2.4.1/Modules/cjkcodecs/_codecs_cn.c",
line 431.3: 1506-206 (S) Suffix of integer constant
100_encode is not valid.
"/home/psgtools/aix52/build/Python-2.4.1/Modules/cjkcodecs/_codecs_cn.c",
line 431.3: 1506-196 (W) Initialization between types
"int(*)(union {...}*,const void*,const unsigned
long**,unsigned long,unsigned char**,unsigned
long,int)" and "int" is not allowed.

and so on.

This is happening because of the "hz" codec.  Due to
the way the source file uses the C preprocessor macro,
and the fact that the preprocessor symbol "hz" is
predefined as 100 on this platform, it is producing
invalid lecical symbols such as "100_encode".

The simple solution is to insert the following line in
the source file immediately before the first reference
to the name "hz":

  #undef hz

Summary: Add encoding to DocFileSuite

Initial Comment:
If one writes doctests within documentation strings of classes and 
functions, it's possible to use non-ASCII characters since one can 
specify the encoding used in the source file.

But if one wants to combine the documentation and testing, by 
writing a text file, and thus use DocFileSuite, it's not possible to use 
non-ASCII characters in the tests. This is because there's no way 
of specifying which encoding the text file uses. Instead one has to 
\-quote all non-ASCII characters, and that makes the tests harder 
to read IMHO.

Summary: --no-compile option has no effect

Initial Comment:
ZODB ships with a .py file containing a syntax error 
(that's intentional, it's part of a test of the zope.testing 
component).  So, whenever somone does

setup.py install

they see a complaint about this file, like

byte-compiling /home/tim/glom/lib/python2.4/site-
packages/zope/testing/testrunner-
ex/sample2/sampletests_i.py to sampletests_i.pyc
  File "/home/tim/glom/lib/python2.4/site-
packages/zope/testing/testrunner-
ex/sample2/sampletests_i.py", line 15
importx unittest
   ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax


That's fine.  The problem is that doing

setup.py install --no-compile

makes no difference -- it still tries to compile everything 
to .pyc.  True at least in Python 2.3.5 and 2.4.1.

locale.setlocale doesn't recognize the the format that 
locale.py uses to set the locale, ie. no_NO and 
friends.

The only way I've succeeded in setting the locale on 
Python 2.1 is to use the format described in the 
Visual C++ C-runtime library docs for setlocale where 
a more verbose format is used to set the locale.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the testcase I am using. The 
test case that fails is the locale module itself, when 
running it as a standalone application that is.

To be more specific:
  File "d:\devtools\python21\lib\locale.py", line 384, in 
resetlocale
_setlocale(category, _build_localename(getdefaultlocale
()))
locale.Error: locale setting not supported

And to clarify what input getdefaultlocale returns on my 
machine:

>>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
('no_NO', 'cp1252')

and:
>>> locale._build_localename(locale.getdefaultlocale())
'no_NO.cp1252'

By the way, is this bug fixed in python 2.2?

Can you provide a detailed test case? AFAIK, no_NO is indeed
no supported locale name on Windows, and I don't think
Python aanywhere uses it without the application explicitly
saying so.

Summary: strptime(): can't switch locales more than once

Initial Comment:
After calling strptime() once, it appears that
subsequent efforts to modify the locale settings (so
dates strings in different locales can be parsed) throw
a ValueError. I'm pasting everything here since spacing
is irrelevant:

import locale, time
print locale.getdefaultlocale()# ('en_US', 'utf')
print locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME) # (None, None)
# save old locale
old_loc = locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME)
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'nl_NL')
print locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME) # ('nl_NL',
'ISO8859-1')
# parse local date
date = '10 augustus 2005 om 17:26'
format = '%d %B %Y om %H:%M'
dateTuple = time.strptime(date, format)
# switch back to previous locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, old_loc)
print locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME) # (None, None)
date = '10 August 2005 at 17:26'
format = '%d %B %Y at %H:%M'
dateTuple = time.strptime(date, format)

The output I get from this script is:

('en_US', 'utf')
(None, None)
('nl_NL', 'ISO8859-1')
(None, None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "switching.py", line 17, in ?
dateTuple = time.strptime(date, format)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/_strptime.py", line 292, in
strptime
raise ValueError("time data did not match format: 
data=%s  fmt=%s" %
ValueError: time data did not match format:  data=10
August 2005 at 17:26  fmt=%d %B %Y at %H:%M


One workaround I found is by manually busting the
regular expression cache in _strptime:

import _strptime
_strptime._cache_lock.acquire()
_strptime._TimeRE_cache = _strptime.TimeRE()
_strptime._regex_cache = {}
_strptime._cache_lock.release()

If I do all that, I can change the LC_TIME part of the
locale as many times as I choose.

If this isn't a bug, this should at least be in the
documentation for the locale module and/or strptime().

Summary: strptime(): can't switch locales more than once

Initial Comment:
After calling strptime() once, it appears that
subsequent efforts to modify the locale settings (so
dates strings in different locales can be parsed) throw
a ValueError. I'm pasting everything here since spacing
is irrelevant:

import locale, time
print locale.getdefaultlocale()# ('en_US', 'utf')
print locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME) # (None, None)
# save old locale
old_loc = locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME)
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'nl_NL')
print locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME) # ('nl_NL',
'ISO8859-1')
# parse local date
date = '10 augustus 2005 om 17:26'
format = '%d %B %Y om %H:%M'
dateTuple = time.strptime(date, format)
# switch back to previous locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, old_loc)
print locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME) # (None, None)
date = '10 August 2005 at 17:26'
format = '%d %B %Y at %H:%M'
dateTuple = time.strptime(date, format)

The output I get from this script is:

('en_US', 'utf')
(None, None)
('nl_NL', 'ISO8859-1')
(None, None)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "switching.py", line 17, in ?
dateTuple = time.strptime(date, format)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/_strptime.py", line 292, in
strptime
raise ValueError("time data did not match format: 
data=%s  fmt=%s" %
ValueError: time data did not match format:  data=10
August 2005 at 17:26  fmt=%d %B %Y at %H:%M

I think there were some long lines in my code. Attaching
test case.
