#20730: Mercurial appears to require LANG and LC_ALL set to UTF8 ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Reporter: ora.et.labora@… | Owner: deric@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.7.1 Keywords: | Port: mercurial ----------------------------------+----------------------------------------- Comment(by stephen@…): You probably also live in an ASCII-speaking territory. Here's what happens in Japan: {{{ wideload:src/MacPorts 23:38$ hg version Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/local/bin/hg", line 27, in <module> mercurial.dispatch.run() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6 /site-packages/mercurial/dispatch.py", line 16, in run sys.exit(dispatch(sys.argv[1:])) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6 /site-packages/mercurial/dispatch.py", line 27, in dispatch return _runcatch(u, args) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6 /site-packages/mercurial/dispatch.py", line 144, in _runcatch ui.warn(_("** unknown exception encountered, details follow\n")) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6 /site-packages/mercurial/i18n.py", line 43, in gettext return u.encode(encoding.encoding, "replace") File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6 /site-packages/mercurial/demandimport.py", line 75, in __getattribute__ self._load() File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6 /site-packages/mercurial/demandimport.py", line 47, in _load mod = _origimport(head, globals, locals) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6 /site-packages/mercurial/encoding.py", line 20, in <module> encoding = locale.getlocale()[1] File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 497, in getlocale return _parse_localename(localename) File "/opt/local/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/locale.py", line 410, in _parse_localename raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8 }}} Mercurial is the only Python app that does this to me. Even more brain-damaged, to override this you must set LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL. LANG is not good enough. {{{ Mac OS X 10.5.8 "Leopard" MacBook Pro (Intel Core Duo) MacPorts from svn (up to date at r57210; port last built and installed about 2009/09/02) mercurial @1.3.1_0 (active) }}} -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20730#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
