Using wxPython 2.5.5.1 that was built on Redhat 9 against Python 2.3

TypeError: lookup() argument 1 must be string, not None

Using the default Python on Gentoo:

Python 2.3.4 (#1, Feb 9 2005, 08:31:52)
[GCC 3.3.5 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5-r1, ssp-3.3.2-3, pie-8.7.7.1)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import locale
locale.getdefaultlocale()

(None, None)

The wxPython code copes with ValueError and LookupError, but not TypeError.

This was fixed in the current release.
