[maemo-developers] Python - problem with locales

[From: David Hautbois]

Hi

Thanks for your tips, but I still have problem :

***** unset LC_ALL
 >>> import locale
 >>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
(None, None)

Error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2014' in 
position 54: ordinal not in range(128)

***** export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" (Like my debian workstation)
 >>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
('en_US', 'UTF8')

Error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2014' in 
position 54: ordinal not in range(128)

***** export LC_ALL="fr_FR.UTF-8"
 >>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
('fr_FR', 'UTF8')

Error:
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2014' in 
position 54: ordinal not in range(128)

What to do ??

Thanks.

David.
