Python3.0.1 is not available when system locale is zh_TW.eucTW Expected result: python3.0 interpreter should works fine. Actual result: python3.0 interpreter can not execute any statement or ran python program. Steps to reproduce this bug: 1. Login HP-UX with a locale 'zh_TW.eucTW'. 2. Install ActivePython-3.0.1.1-hpux11.00-parisc.tar.gz on a HP-UX 11.11 machine. 3. Start the python3.0 interpreter. 4. Try some python statements like following, there was not any reaction: import locale locale.getlocale() help() exit() 5. Try to run a python program like following, but it was not run. python3.0 foo.py Notes: 1. This error does not occur when the system locale is 'zh_TW.big5'. 2. This error was also found on linux build.
I can't reproduce this on trunk (or 3.0 maint) on Gentoo Linux: ~/python/py3k>./python Python 3.1b1+ (py3k:72816, May 21 2009, 22:01:55) [GCC 4.3.3] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import locale [50411 refs] >>> locale.getlocale() ('zh_TW', 'eucTW') [50423 refs] >>> help() Welcome to Python 3.1! This is the online help utility. [...] >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') 'zh_TW.eucTW' [50462 refs] >>> help() Welcome to Python 3.1! This is the online help utility. [...] Leon: you say ActivePython, which is a vendor distribution. I think you should report this bug to them, unless you can reproduce it using the python.org python.
Hello David, Thanks for your quick response! I just downloaded Python3.0.1 source code and compiled it on my Debian 5.0 Linux using following commands: root@li-le01-d5:~# ./configure root@li-le01-d5:~# make root@li-le01-d5:~# make altinstall Then I try Python in interactive mod and found the problem. On my system, there is not any output and error message in python3.0 console when I try to execute some statments. See following screen reaction: root@li-le01-d5:~# python3.0 Python 3.0.1 (r301:69556, May 26 2009, 19:48:24) [GCC 4.3.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import locale >>> loacle.getlocale() >>> help() >>> exit() >>> Then I try to execute a script file hello.py. My script contains only one python statement: print('Hello World!') On my system, there is not any output and error message also when I run "python3.0 hello.py". root@li-le01-d5:~# locale LANG=zh_TW.EUC-TW LC_CTYPE="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_NUMERIC="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_TIME="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_COLLATE="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_MONETARY="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_MESSAGES="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_PAPER="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_NAME="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_ADDRESS="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_TELEPHONE="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_TW.EUC-TW" LC_ALL= root@li-le01-d5:~# /usr/local/bin/python3.0 hello.py root@li-le01-d5:~# Then I witch to zh_TW.utf8 and try it again. root@li-le01-d5:~# LANG=zh_TW.utf8 root@li-le01-d5:~# locale LANG=zh_TW.utf8 LC_CTYPE="zh_TW.utf8" LC_NUMERIC="zh_TW.utf8" LC_TIME="zh_TW.utf8" LC_COLLATE="zh_TW.utf8" LC_MONETARY="zh_TW.utf8" LC_MESSAGES="zh_TW.utf8" LC_PAPER="zh_TW.utf8" LC_NAME="zh_TW.utf8" LC_ADDRESS="zh_TW.utf8" LC_TELEPHONE="zh_TW.utf8" LC_MEASUREMENT="zh_TW.utf8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="zh_TW.utf8" LC_ALL= root@li-le01-d5:~# /usr/local/bin/python3.0 hello.py Hello world! root@li-le01-d5:~# This problem was also occurs when I try the same steps on HP-UX 11.11 and SUSE sles10. Would you please kindly to tell me if I missed some steps when I compile from source or some env variables from shell or some others. The problem was strange and made me crazy. I am very appreciated if you can tell me how to resolve it. Thank you very much. Leeon
