[New-bugs-announce] [issue9335] LC_CTYPE system setting not respected by setlocale()

[Anthony Long]

New submission from Anthony Long <antlong at gmail.com>:

On mac 10.5, python 2.6.4 (via mac ports) performing

len(string.letters) will produce 117 instead of 52.

from terminal:
along-mb:~ along$ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

This appears to be related to:

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE) not being respected.

len(string.letters) should produce 52.
