Python 2.5.2 on Ubuntu Hardy Utf-8-Euro error

[Josep]

I'm playing with an application framework (or kinda) that's developed
with python, and it throws this error:

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Dabo-0.8.3-py2.5.egg/dabo/db/dCursorMixin.py ", line 281, in execute
sql = unicode(sql, self.Encoding)
LookupError: unknown encoding: utf_8_euro

At the application (DABO) mailing list, they have pointed that this has
to be a Python issue. As I'm a totally python newbie, I would ask if
somebody has experimented this kind of error, and if there is any known
solution. I've found no clue searching at Google right now.

My Python version is 2.5.2, Ubuntu Hardy .deb package.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I've had nothing but problems ever since I upgraded to Hardy. I used
to be a die hard Ubuntu fan until recently. Maybe try a better OS

Python might get confused by an @EURO suffix in the locale:

$ LANG=de_DE.UTF-8@EURO
$ python -c"import locale; print locale.getdefau ltlocale()"
('de_DE', 'utf_8_euro')

Try setting the LANG environment variable to something like

$ LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
$ python -c"import locale; print locale.getdefau ltlocale()"
('de_DE', 'UTF8')

before you run your program (use ca_ES or whatever you need instead of
de_DE).

It's definitely not a Python issue.

As I'm a totally python newbie, I would ask if
somebody has experimented this kind of error, and if there is any known
solution. I've found no clue searching at Google right now.

The problem is that self.Encoding is incorrect - it should not be
utf_8_euro. Instead, it should be UTF-8 (or perhaps utf_8). DABO
shouldn't use locale.getdefau ltlocale()[1], but
locale.getprefe rredencoding().

Martin

I think that is the effect of a bug:

>>locale._parse _localename("en _US.UTF-8@euro")

('en_US', 'utf_8_euro')

The function first normalizes the "@" away and then looks for it. Is that
the expected behaviour?

Right, that's what's happening.

The locale module uses a locale aliasing table that help map environment
locale settings to C local names.

That table was last updated in 2004 and since then a lot more
locale variable strings have made their way into the Linux
distros.

I guess we need to update the table...

$ LANG=de_DE.UTF-8@EURO
$ python -c"import locale; print locale.getdefau ltlocale()"
('de_DE', 'utf_8_euro')

I've opened ticket http://bugs.python.org/issue3011 for this.

Re: Python 2.5.2 on Ubuntu Hardy Utf-8-Euro error

The function first normalizes the "@" away and then looks for it. Is that

the expected behaviour?

I believe this functionality is broken by design. Python can't possibly
know correctly what each locale name on each system means, and what
encoding is used in the locale.

Instead, the system's API to find out the encoding should be used,
as exposed in locale.getprefe rredencoding().

Martin

Ubuntu doesn't use @EURO suffixes...?

$ grep EURO /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
