Since 6.2.0, unit test failures in Debian unstable

[Thomas Goirand]

Hi,

Apparently, since https://review.opendev.org/c/openstack/oslo.i18n/+/873842 (not sure, but it looks like it), oslo.i18n fails to build in Debian Unstable with these 2 failures:

======================================================================

There's obviously something wrong with this patch. Note that I tried setting LANG=en_US when running unit tests, and it didn't help.

Cheers,

This is probably an issue caused by underlying python. Can you check the following results

import locale
locale.getdefaultlocale()
locale.getlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE)

In my local env these two return identical results.

Python 3.11.7 (main, Dec 18 2023, 00:00:00) [GCC 13.2.1 20231011 (Red Hat 13.2.1-4)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import locale
>>> locale.getdefaultlocale()
<stdin>:1: DeprecationWarning: 'locale.getdefaultlocale' is deprecated and slated for removal in Python 3.15. Use setlocale(), getencoding() and getlocale() instead.
('en_US', 'UTF-8')
>>> locale.getlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE)
('en_US', 'UTF-8')

I got the same result exactly, in both Python 3.11.8 and 3.12.2.
