Hello everybody, We ran across http://www.codeplex.com/IronPython/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=13629(turkish collation issues) today while trying to port Resolver One to IronPython 2.0.
This is in a test that tries to import decimal while in the turkish locale (it was actually reported by a user!). It does an .upper on a string with an 'i', and that doesn't give the expected results. This is a very big issue because all the python code out there expects string transformations to be locale-independent, and there may be strange bugs in strange places. Is mapping .upper and .lower to ToUpperInvariant and ToLowerInvariant an acceptable solution? People that want to do locale-dependent transformations can always use the .NET specific ToUpper/ToLower. We can work around the decimal being unimportable by hacking it, but clearly this is not a general solution. We will report other modules that might fail from this as we find them. Thanks, Glenn and Orestis
