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. |

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 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. |

Logged In: YES user_id=428736 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? |

Logged In: YES user_id=849994 The same applies to other locales. From #813449 (a duplicate of this): """ This is a known limitation: getdefaultlocale should not be used in new code. If the intention is to compute the locale's encoding, locale.getpreferredencoding should be used instead. """ |
