When I try to run Thousand Parsec wxPython Client with python-2.5.2-r8 I get the error: TypeError: character mapping must return integer, None or unicode No such error with python-2.5.2-r7 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Thousand Parsec wxPython client. Instructions for Gentoo are here: http://www.thousandparsec.net/tp/downloads.php 2. Run the client with tp-pywx-installed Actual Results: You get this error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/games/lib64/tpclient-pywx/tpclient-pywx", line 487, in <module> app = Application(url) File "/usr/games/lib64/tpclient-pywx/tpclient-pywx", line 458, in __init__ ClientApplication.__init__(self) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/tp/client/threads.py", line 63, in __init__ self.gui = self.GUIClass(self) File "/usr/games/lib64/tpclient-pywx/tpclient-pywx", line 237, in __init__ mytranslation = gettext.translation(domain, localedir, [mylocale.GetCanonicalName()], fallback = True) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/gettext.py", line 465, in translation mofiles = find(domain, localedir, languages, all=1) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/gettext.py", line 437, in find for nelang in _expand_lang(lang): File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/gettext.py", line 132, in _expand_lang locale = normalize(locale) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/locale.py", line 307, in normalize fullname = localename.translate(_ascii_lower_map) TypeError: character mapping must return integer, None or unicode Expected Results: Client should run just fine like it does with python-2.5.2-r7 This looks like a problem with locale support. My locale is set to Slovenian (sl_SI.utf8).

The bug is still present in dev-lang/python-2.5.4
Just updated to dev-lang/python-2.5.4-r1 and all is working fine again. I guess I can mark this bug as fixed.
