I last updated the table in 2008. Will do that again this week.

Could you tell me which X11 version you used ? I've modified the

That nl_AW is an interesting one. Aruba is part of the Kingdom of the

getdefaultlocale() provides a way to access the default locale

setlocale(LC_ALL, )
That's what it's meant to do, but this is not what it actually does.
In fact, there is no way of
New submission from Luke Jennings ubuntujenk...@googlemail.com:
In the locale module there are some locales that are not supported these the

Hello
Not a local expert here, but since this module relies on the underlying libc
locale support. Do other programs work correctly with this locale?
Apart from that, your program needs to catch and handle exceptions anyway.

Other programs do work with the local.
I am working on dealing with exceptions, I am rather new to programing and
thought it would also be good to try and get this fixed in the original module.

This doesn't look like a bug. You must install a locale before it gets
available to Python.
Furthermore, according to the original traceback (
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/43012745/quickshot-latin.log ), the locale module
isn't even involved.

Actually, my diagnosis was wrong. The locale module contains a list of locale
aliases and some of the Serbian ones are missing. A recent locale.alias file
from X11 is more complete.

I haven't quite understood what people want to use that function for. If
we knew the typical use cases, we could make recommendations what they
should use instead.
One use case
Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment:
However, these cases seem to be different.
I think it can be used to find out the current language setting of the
user, and trigger a third-party translation system (other than e.g.
gettext).

It does change a couple of mappings (example here is from sr_CS.* to sr_RS.*).

With the changes to the encodings for some of the locales (e.g. 'ru'), I
would advise against such a backport.
This also demonstrates one fundamental flaw of the approach:
Antoine Pitrou pit...@free.fr added the comment:
Ok, the fix (updated tables) has been committed in trunk (r79977) and py3k
(r79978). I suppose Ubuntu can backport the patch if they want their Python to
be in sync with their own locales.
