Invalid currency locale specified for SHOP_CURRENCY_LOCALE

[Eric Boo]

Hi,

I just tried to set up a dev server on a new VPS and am seeing the following when I run ./manage.py runserver

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Invalid currency locale specified for SHOP_CURRENCY_LOCALE: 'en_US.ISO8859-1'. You'll need to set the locale for your system, or configure the SHOP_CURRENCY_LOCALE setting in your settings module.

I have these in my environment:

declare -x LC_CTYPE="en_US.ISO8859-1"
declare -x LOCALE="en_US.ISO8859-1"

This is the same even if I change the SHOP_CURRENCY_LOCALE to en_US.UTF-8, or en_GB.UTF-8 and when I change the environment variables accordingly.

Any ideas?

Eric

Just a note:

locale -a has 

en_US.ISO8859-1
en_US.ISO8859-15
en_US.UTF-8
en_GB.ISO8859-1
en_GB.ISO8859-15
en_GB.UTF-8

Hi Eric,

Mezzanine's Fabric script, fabfile.py, has code that sets the locale properly. Search for the string "locale" in https://github.com/stephenmcd/mezzanine/blob/master/mezzanine/project_template/fabfile.py.

Your initial email is a little vague. Are you running a Django development server, aka "runserver"? Or are you running a development server identical to your final deployed production server?

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your reply.

I git cloned my live site’s code to a new development server so that I can add some more features, and at the same time test it out on a BSD OS (live site’s running Debian).

Running the site via gunicorn gave me the locale error, so I tried running it as ./manage.py runserver to see if it made a difference. In this case the error was the same.

On the live server, Django + Cartridge + Mezzanine is using “en_GB” for the locale but for some reason it’s not available on the development machine. 

locale -a doesn’t list either “en_US” or “en_GB”, but rather:

en_US.ISO8859-1
en_US.ISO8859-15
en_US.UTF-8
en_GB.ISO8859-1
en_GB.ISO8859-15

en_GB.UTF-8

Therefore one-by-one, I tried setting SHOP_CURRENCY_LOCALE to each of the above and exporting LOCAL and LC_CTYPE to the same, without success.

Initially I suspected that it’ll only work with en_GB and en_US without the suffixes (eg en_US.UTF-8) but I see on the fabfile.py that "en_US.UTF-8” is being used.

Still not sure what to do.

Cartridge, Mezzanine and Django are up to date on the dev machine.

Hi Eric,

I would keep development and platform migration on separate machine instances. Dev/prod parity!

To make life easier, consider using Vagrant for development work. It is cheap, local, and portable.

Running the site via gunicorn gave me the locale error, so I tried running it as ./manage.py runserver to see if it made a difference. In this case the error was the same.

Try `python manage.py shell`, or `shell_plus` if you have the excellent django-extensions installed. Below are my results for an ancient Cartridge site.

>>> from mezzanine.conf import settings

>>> settings.SHOP_CURRENCY_LOCALE

"en_US.UTF-8"

hth,

ken

[Eric Boo]

Hi Ken,

Oh well, manage.py shell gives me:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Invalid currency locale specified for SHOP_CURRENCY_LOCALE: 'en_US.UTF-8'. You'll need to set the locale for your system, or configure the SHOP_CURRENCY_LOCALE setting in your settings module.

I wonder if it’s possible to run Mezzanine + Cartridge inside OpenBSD at all, but given that we’re talking about Python, it shouldn’t be an issue, right?

Go ahead and set SHOP_CURRENCY_LOCALE in your settings file. I fear, though, that this error is hiding something in your configuration that is wrong and should be fixed.

No reason this shouldn't work on OpenBSD. FWIW, OpenBSD was my OS of choice until Ubuntu became de facto standard.

 I think there may be some value in documenting (that is, writing Fabric scripts) for each of the major systems. The Debian family is well covered by the current fabfile.py. All we need are motivated individuals who need reliable deployments on CentOS and the BSD family.

Good to know that it should work on OpenBSD. I really want to get to the bottom of this.

I have tried placed the following in either local_settings.py or settings.py:

SHOP_CURRENCY_LOCALE = 'en_US.UTF-8'

SHOP_USE_RATINGS = False

These are the exact same local_settings.py and settings.py files that I’m successfully using on my live machine.

May be an overkill, but maybe it’ll be interesting to see if the exact same files work on a FreeBSD machine instead.

With those settings you still get the error the ImproperlyConfigured error? Your system and/or application is improperly configured. Back out or start over. You have been automating as you go, right?

I will set up a new openbsd virtual machine to test, although this dev machine is pretty new as well. Just set it up a few days ago without much on it at the moment. Weirdness.

Hi,

I’ve just set up a brand new OpenBSD 5.5 virtual machine to test.

Then I used mkvirtualenv to create a place to store my test files.

And then I copied exactly the instructions on http://cartridge.jupo.org/overview.html#installation  in order to create a brand new cartridge installation. 

When I got to this:

mezzanine-project -a cartridge project_name 

cd project_name 

python manage.py createdb —noinput

Then I get the following error:

(test)-bash-4.2# python manage.py createdb --noinput

Not sure if this is a python bug, or opensd bug:

Hi Eric,

I just created an OpenBSD 5.3 Vagrant instance to try to help you out.

$ sudo pkg_add py-virtualenv

$ virtualenv test

$ source test/bin/activate

$ pip install -U cartridge

Installing cartridge fails when trying to install the Pillow/PIL requirements with the following error:

ImportError: This platform lacks a functioning sem_open implementation, therefore, the required synchronization primitives needed will not function, see issue 3770.

Allegedly, this is resolved in OpenBSD 5.4, but the only Vagrant box I can find with 5.4 is too big for me my current drive setup.

I remember openbsd needing some settings changed (set) in the .profile file. It's an export of LC_TYPE. When you log in as a user out will set the locale. I'm not sure if this is necessary anymore. It it's in the all-knowing FAQ.

I'll test it with an older version of OpenBSD later, but on OpenBSD 5.5, it looks like LC_MONETARY may be limited. From man setlocale:

>>Use of LC_MONETARY could lead to misleading results until we have a real time currency conversion function.

[Eric Boo]

Hi Ken,

Thanks for trying. I just downloaded the iso for OpenBSD 5.3 and installed it. The result is the same.

In python, locale.setlocale(locale.LC_MONETARY, "en_GB.UTF-8") also throws an exception.

Looks like it only accepts "C", and "POSIX".
