2.5.5.1 locale problem

wxPython Users
1

This is probably a problem on my end, but should wxPython also be
checking for None here? (This is 2.5.5.1 with the options listed in
BUILD.html plus --enable-unicode on GTK2.)

import wx

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/home/bhv1/src/wxPython-src-2.5.5.1/wxPython/wx/__init__.py",
line 42, in ?
    from wx._core import *
  File "/home/bhv1/src/wxPython-src-2.5.5.1/wxPython/wx/_core.py", line
11351, in ?
    codecs.lookup(default)
TypeError: lookup() argument 1 must be string, not None

sys.getdefaultencoding()

'ascii'

locale.getdefaultlocale()

(None, None)

%locale
LANG=POSIX
LC_CTYPE="POSIX"
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"

I'll add TypeError to the list of exceptions.

locale.getdefaultlocale()

(None, None)

%locale
LANG=POSIX

I think that getdefaultlocale looks at the LANGUAGE environment variable first. What is it set to? I just tried it set to POSIX and I get (None, None) too so I guess that is what yours is set to. Try setting it to something like "en_US:en" or whatever fits your needs.

That oughta do it.

The LANGUAGE environment variable is not set when the above error is
produced. But setting it as you suggested does allow me to import wx
and should work well enough until a new release comes out.

Thanks!
