Bug report

Bug description:

Some locales don't have an encoding especifier, and python (wrongly) assumes it is ISO-8859-1, when it may not be. For example, the following code:

import locale

l = locale.getlocale()
print(f"locale: {l}, encoding: {locale.getencoding()}")
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, l)

Returns:

$ LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 python3 test.py 
locale: ('en_GB', 'UTF-8'), encoding: UTF-8
$ LANG=en_IN python3 test.py 
locale: ('en_IN', 'ISO8859-1'), encoding: UTF-8
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/emilio/profesional/freexian-ext/test.py", line 5, in <module>
    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, l)
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/locale.py", line 615, in setlocale
    return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

The en_IN locale uses UTF-8, which is correctly returned in locale.getencoding(), but not in locale.getlocale(). Using the tuple returned by locale.getlocale() in a setlocale call fails.

This probably affects other locales that use UTF-8 as their encoding but don't especify it in the locale name.

This was tested on Debian stable (trixie) with Python 3.13.

3.13

调研方向

报告指向 locale.py,并包含一个可复现的 test.py 示例;首先在 Linux 上使用 LANG=en_IN 运行它,并将 locale.getlocale() 与 locale.getencoding() 进行比较。当对于名称中省略编码的 locale,locale.getlocale() 能保留可用的 UTF-8 编码,从而将其结果传递给 locale.setlocale() 不再失败时,即表示完成。
