Hi,
I use Mandrake linux 10 with German setup, Hungarian Keyboard.
My Python is python 2.3.3.
The following program fails:
---------------------------------------------------------
import locale
loc = locale.setlocal e(locale.LC_ALL ) # get current locale
locale.setlocal e(locale.LC_ALL , 'de_DE') # use German locale; name
might vary with platform
locale.setlocal e(locale.LC_ALL , 'hu_HU') # use Hungarian locale; name
might
---------------------------------------------------------
with the error message:
------------------------------------------------------------
File "test.py", line 4, in ?
locale.setlocal e(locale.LC_ALL , 'hu_HU') # use Hungarian locale;
name might
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/locale.py", line 381, in setlocale
return _setlocale(cate gory, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
----------------------------------------------
Has anybody any idea, what can be wrong here?
I checked /etc/locale.
There was une directory there, name: de.
I duplicated that directory under the name 'hu', but this did not
help.
The command locale.setlocal e(locale.LC_ALL , xx_YY) work well for
en_GB, en_US, de_DE, de_CH, de_AT as xx_YY
and it fails with the unsupported message for:
fr_FR, nl_NL, es_ES, hu_HU as xx_YY
What can be the problem here?
Thanks in advance for any help/hint,
Regards: tr. 3 3819

Nothing to do with Python. Enter this (as root):
$ urpmi locales-hu locales-fr locales-nl locales-es

Thanks Irmen, it works now fine on linux.
What about windows and other systems?
Does this problem never occur there? If it occurs,
how to cure it?

First of all, you have to know the locale names for Windows;
they differ from the locale names on Unix. In addition, Windows
installations support only a subset of the locales support in
Windows in general. The only "cure" is to install a different
Windows product. E.g. if you find you are lacking an east-asian
locale, it might be that you need to install an east-asian edition
of Windows, or a multi-lingual edition.

In the $gbDate line, the $T argument displays as $T instead of the actual

wrong? Webpage will eventually be in Unix server online.

I have some problems with locale module.
On my workstation, changing locale doesn't have effect:
Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

I was working with a co-worker the other day to work through the
process of formatting numeric values by imbueing C++ iostreams with
locales. His program's initialisation code had a call to
setlocale("",LC_ALL) which I believe sets up locale information for the
C run time library but is not supposed to effect the C++ run time.
What we found, however, was that, with this function call in place, the
C++ iostreams were formatting floating...

Last night I had a web site. This morning it was returning nothing. I traced
it to a call to setlocale(). It appears that something has happened that
means that any call to setlocale completely kills the site, including
dumping anything that is in the output buffer.
Take a look at http://www.osg-uk.com/st.php and

Anyone got any ideas?

Hi,
I am in Linux writing a program using setlocale(3). But I found, only
the first invocation of setlocale(3) can be success, any subsequent
calling of this function will fail $B!J(B return NULL ) and the locale is
not changed. Is there any tip here?
Thanks.

Warning: The locale information is maintained per process, not per

or Apache on Windows you may experience sudden changes of locale
settings while a script is running although the script itself never
called setlocale() itself. This happens due to other scripts running
in different threads of the same process at the same time changing the

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
