provided patch can be shortened to: _ = lambda x: unicode(gettext.gettext(x), 'utf-8')) This problem was not even with de, it happened with other languages as well. And with different commands (e.g spacewalk-channel) as well. I find what is the cause as the idiom _ = gettext.gettext is used very often in other projects. Adelton find the change in python which is the cause: http://svn.python.org/view?revision=46861&view=revision And I find in python documentation that prefered idiom for translations in Unicode is: http://docs.python.org/library/gettext.html#localizing-your-module Fixed in spacewalk.git: ceb71f81a3b64d8a71781f65f9d82b88340601e8
Mass moving to ON_QA before release of Spacewalk 1.4
Spacewalk 1.4 has been released
