TestLocale.test_log_BOGUS fails on karmic python2.6

[Martin Pool]

This works in python2.5 but fails on 2.6:

^^^^[log from bzrlib.tests.blackbox.test_locale.TestLocale.test_log_BOGUS]----

Traceback (most recent call last):

AssertionError: texts not equal:
  bzr: warning: unsupported locale setting
    bzr could not set the application locale.
    Although this should be no problem for bzr itself,
    it might cause problems with some plugins.
    To investigate the issue, look at the output
    of the locale(1p) tool available on POSIX systems.
- bzr: warning: unsupported locale setting
- Could not determine what text encoding to use.
- This error usually means your Python interpreter
- doesn't support the locale set by $LANG (BOGUS)
- Continuing with ascii encoding.

Happy to say it passes on wine python2.6.2

Right that one is failing on karmic/python2.6 in the test farm.

The test itself already has a big XXX just before the assertion.

Funnily it refers to the non-breaking part of the string...

        # XXX: This depends on the exact formatting of a locale.Error
        # as the first part of the string. It may be a little tempermental

More details:

On jaunty:
LANG=BOGUS python2.6
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:58:18)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import bzrlib.osutils
bzr: warning: unsupported locale setting
  Could not determine what text encoding to use.
  This error usually means your Python interpreter
  doesn't support the locale set by $LANG (BOGUS)
  Continuing with ascii encoding.
>>> bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()
'ascii'
>>>

On karmic:

LANG=BOGUS python2.6
Python 2.6.2+ (release26-maint, Jul 24 2009, 16:18:09)
[GCC 4.4.1] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import bzrlib.osutils
>>> bzrlib.osutils.get_user_encoding()
'ANSI_X3.4-1968'
>>>

Basically a change in python26, specific to karmic, makes python roughly behave as bzr regarding user_encoding: default to ascii (ANSI_X3.4-1968 being a funny name for ascii) but it stopped emitting warnings.

Oops, didn't realize you assigned it to you Martin, I have a fix already...

That's ok, I hadn't actually done anything yet.
