questions about locale and Windows

Regards.

I have a few questions about locale handling on Windows.

The first: why getlocale() returns (None, None) when the locale is 'C'?

The second is: why this code fails?:
loc, enc = locale.getdefau ltlocale()
print loc, enc it_IT cp1252 locale.setlocal e(locale.LC_ALL , (loc, enc))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1 5>", line 1, in -toplevel-
locale.setlocal e(locale.LC_ALL , (loc, enc))
File "C:\Python2.4\l ib\locale.py", line 381, in setlocale
return _setlocale(cate gory, locale)
Error: unsupported locale setting
Fortunately locale.setlocal e(locale.LC_ALL , '')

'Italian_Italy. 1252'

and
locale.setlocal e(locale.LC_ALL )
'C'

works...

Thanks Manlio Perillo

I cannot get Korean data to show up in Command Center or Crystal Reports. I wrote a small JDBC program and that is working fine. Here are the details. DB2 Server : AIX DB2 8.1.3 64 bit Database territory = En-US Database code page = 1208 Database code set = UTF-8 Database country/region code = 1

Using ideas provided by some of you I was able to figure out how to get the names of the parameters fields of a crystal report specified at run time. The code below just basically puts the data into a comboBox. One thing I noticed, however, is that this method shows me both the parameters used by the main report and parameters used by the sub-report(s).

I am going to demonstrate my complete lack of understanding as to going back and forth between character encodings, so I hope someone out there can shed some light on this. I have always depended on the kindness of strangers... :-) I'm playing around with some very simplistic french to english translation. As some text to work with, I copied the following from a french news site:

Hi all, I have a simple question about locale and PHP5. I'm using polish characters but I encode them in UTF-8. I was sorting an array with usort($array, 'strcoll'); but I've entred a problem. I was sorting arrays this way: setlocale(LC_ALL, 'pl_PL.utf8');

I am using Windows XP, Tomcat 5.5.17, JRE 1.5.0_08. I am in Australia. For testing localization, my Windows Region is set to English, US. The Tomcat xml's are set to their install defaults. When using the Console, tomcat5.exe, my localization files work correctly, returning the Locale, en_US in the string str. When using Windows Services, the Locale string returned is en.AU with the same code and the Region still set to English, US. ...

Hello, I hope someone can illuminate this situation for me. Here's the nutshell: 1. On start I call locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,''), the getlocale. 2. If this returns "C" or anything without 'utf8' in it, then things start to go downhill: 2a. The app assumes unicode objects internally. i.e. Whenever there is

Hello folks, 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. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
