New issue 209 by emmanuel...@gmail.com: couchdb-python doesn't support
locales
http://code.google.com/p/couchdb-python/issues/detail?id=209
The couchdb-python cache system is based on the RFC 2822 Date system for
object expiration. When the locale changes, strptime() is no more able to
parse this kind of date.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run this (or see attachment):
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
import couchdb
import couchdb.http
# disable cache. 0 means force cache validation
# on every request.
couchdb.http.CACHE_SIZE = 10, 0
couch = couchdb.Server()
try:
db = couch.create('test')
db['foo'] = {'bar': 'test'}
print db['foo']
finally:
couch.delete('test')
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected:
<Document u'foo'@u'1-1d1b1ba13d97badec02a57adb942cd42' {u'bar': u'test'}>
Instead:

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- CouchDB-0.8-py2.7
- WinXP32 SP3
Please provide any additional information below.
IMHO the best solution is to remove the month part of the date (so as to
only have numbers which should be locale independant) before passing it to
strptime() (and to adjust the parse pattern accordingly)
