[New-bugs-announce] [issue33824] Settign LANG=C modifies the --version behavior

[Miro Hrončok]

New submission from Miro Hrončok <miro at hroncok.cz>:

On 3.6, setting LANG to C did not affect the --version behavior:

$ python3.6 --version
Python 3.6.5

$ LANG=C python3.6 --version
Python 3.6.5

On 3.7.0b5 it does.

$ python3.7 --version
Python 3.7.0b5

$ LANG=C python3.7 --version
Python 3.7.0b5 (default, Jun  1 2018, 03:54:41) 
[GCC 8.1.1 20180502 (Red Hat 8.1.1-1)]



My locale:

LANG=cs_CZ.utf8
LC_CTYPE="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_NUMERIC="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_TIME="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_COLLATE="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_MONETARY="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_MESSAGES="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_PAPER="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_NAME="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_ADDRESS="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_TELEPHONE="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="cs_CZ.utf8"
LC_ALL=


BTW I'm running Fedora builds of Python, where we have PEP 538 on 3.6 as well https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/python3_c.utf-8_locale
