If the environment variable LANG is set to "en" or "en_US", xml.dom.minidom
breaks:

With LANG set to anything else it works:

sascha@cube:~/firma/arch/profiles--mainstream--1.0/tools$ LANG=de
./genconfig.py 
Syntax: genconfig.py <hostName>
sascha@cube:~/firma/arch/profiles--mainstream--1.0/tools$ LANG=garbage
./genconfig.py 
Syntax: genconfig.py <hostName>




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. LANG=en python
2. import xml.dom.minidom
3.

Actual Results:

can't reproduce this. what version of 4Suite do you have?

LANG="en_US" python -c "import xml.dom.MessageSource"

I do not have 4suite installed:

*  dev-python/4suite
      Latest version available: 1.0_alpha3
      Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ]
      Size of downloaded files: 2,290 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.4suite.org/
      Description: Python tools for XML processing and object-databases.
      License:     Apache-1.1


But I do have dev-python/pyxml-0.8.2 installed and /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/MessageSource.py belongs to it:

sascha@cube:~$ qpkg -v -f /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/MessageSource.py 
dev-python/pyxml-0.8.2 *

can you please try pyxml-0.8.3 ? this should be fixed with that version.

With pyxml-0.8.3 it works fine. Thanks!

thanks for getting back. i've bumped 0.8.3 to stable now.
