Python and bzr are great, but gee they suck sometimes. I hate locales generally. It's because I'm not hardcore, but Perl is always screwing up with locales. There are apparently easy ways to fix it and hard ways. I don't even understand the easy ways.
I solved this problem for Python by doing this in /usr/lib/python2.4/locale.py at line 417
- setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, "")
+ setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, None)
Apparently an empty string is an invalid locale but a Python null is OK.
Thanks a lot
this solution solve my problem

Don’t know about 2.7. I haven’t seen this issue for a long time.
