For Python 2 (here with 2.7.1):
$ python -c 'import locale; locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "tr_TR.UTF-8"); import decimal'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/decimal.py", line 3715, in <module>
val = globals()[globalname]
KeyError: 'ROUND_CEiLiNG'
The issue is that 'round_ceiling'.upper() is 'ROUND_CEiLiNG' in the Turkish locale, rather than 'ROUND_CEILING', as one might expect.
A workaround for this may be to convert the str instances to unicode
first, then call upper on them, then convert back to str.
This would work since upper() for a unicode instance is locale-independent as
per issue 1528802.
(though there seems to have been some debate there).
Patch attached, though it doesn't yet contain a test case.
Only affects Python 2; with Python 3, the symbols are already stored as unicode internally.

Shouldn't this be forward ported to 3.3? Even though there is no bug in 3.x, code using an explicit dict is cleaner and more robust than the current code that relies on introspection to find methods that start with '_round_'. |
