Description ken moffat 2013-09-02 15:51:31 UTC 
I was just reviewing my available languages and locales, and looking to see how many had translations for 'About LibreOffice' by opening the last menu and selecting the last item on it (no, I cannot read many of these languages!).  In georgian it crashed with a Python error:

ken@ac4tv ~ $LC_ALL=ka_GE lowriter
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
LookupError: unknown encoding: GEORGIAN-PS

 That was with system Python (3.3.2) and none of my environment variables reference PYTHON.  The values for georgian in /usr/lib/python3.3/locale.py are:
    'ka':                                   'ka_GE.GEORGIAN-ACADEMY',
    'ka_ge':                                'ka_GE.GEORGIAN-ACADEMY',
    'ka_ge.georgianacademy':                'ka_GE.GEORGIAN-ACADEMY',
    'ka_ge.georgianps':                     'ka_GE.GEORGIAN-PS',
    'ka_ge.georgianrs':                     'ka_GE.GEORGIAN-ACADEMY',

Andras: one for you?
Comment 2 Caolán McNamara 2013-10-31 10:48:51 UTC 
So, this is a generic python3 problem...

LANG=ka_GE.georgianps /usr/bin/python3
Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: Unable to get the locale encoding
LookupError: unknown encoding: GEORGIAN-PS
Aborted (core dumped)


but python 2 does't blow up

LANG=ka_GE.georgianps /usr/bin/python2

all ok

Lets therefore move this to the python bugzilla as http://bugs.python.org/issue19459
