[New-bugs-announce] [issue2173] Pyton fails silently on bad locale

[Michael Otteneder]

New submission from Michael Otteneder:

Python seems to fail silently when LANG enviroment variable is set to a
bad value. In Mac OS X Leopard it is set too UTF-8 for instance which
does not seem to be valid. Python fails building the modules during make
and the generated python.exe is unable to output anything. Setting the
LANG variable to C or some other valid value fixes the problem. But I
suppose python should fail more verbose in case of a bad locale,or maybe
it should fallback to a standard locale.
