Bug 252136

Yes, I can confirm this as happening with regularity. Obtained trace is similar
to http://rishi.fedorapeople.org/pirut.trace

Tested with the French locale, Pirut works as expected.

Crashes with similar trace for the Bengali (bn_BD) locale. Does that help in
going along the debugging of this issue ?

Tested with the following locales:

bn=failed
bn_IN = failed
hi= failed
gu=failed
el=failed
en_US=success

Doesnt seem to be a translation bug.

It's a bug in python's gettext module.  With specspo installed, do 
  LANG=bn_IN.UTF-8 python -c 'import gettext; 
   print gettext.dgettext("redhat-dist", "foo")'

Previously reported upstream at
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1448060&group_id=5470
but no real resolution from it

Here is what I get.

[rishi@ginger noarch]$ LANG=bn_IN.UTF-8 python -c 'import gettext; 
> print gettext.dgettext("redhat-dist", "foo")'
Traceback (most recent call last):

1. Can we have the patch from
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1448060&group_id=5470
in Fedora?

2. pirut-1.3.9 does not have this issue with the same Python package. Can we
revert whatever changed since 1.3.9 in order to have a temporary fix?

The comments imply that the patch is wrong, so taking it directly is likely a
bad idea.

Doing so breaks a number of other translation cases, so really isn't ideal
either.  We really just need to fix the bug in python here; the patch is
probably a good start for when James gets back from vacation or I'll end up
taking a look if it's still lingering around test3.

New URL for this upstream is http://bugs.python.org/issue1448060 (also,
http://bugs.python.org/issue1475523 is relevant)

And applied something of a fix for our python package.  I don't see how it can
break after reading the mo file specification for a bit and the gettext code

After updating python (# yum update python*) pirut-1.3.25-2 seems to work fine
for LANG=bn_IN.UTF-8.

After general update of november 6 (Kernel 2.6.23.1-21.fc7) 

for LANG=it_IT 

yum info <something> => crash

LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 also causes 'yum info' to crash

thanks.

for F7  python-*2.5-15.fc7 is ok
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=23519

# rpm -qa python* | grep 2.5-15
python-devel-2.5-15.fc7
python-libs-2.5-15.fc7
python-2.5-15.fc7

not yet in f7 updates-testing :(

 Yeh, I know, I've requested it ... but it hasn't turned up yet (I assume Fed-8
is slowing the process down).
 Anyway feel free to visit:

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F7/pending/python-2.5-15.fc7

...and give it some karma.

python-2.5-15.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
 If you want to test the update, you can install it with 
 su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update python'

Works for bn_IN and bn. Checked for other Indic locales too and works_for_me.
Thanks :)

german language also works very well!
