Locale could not be found for en-US

[jwwi...@gmail.com]

I'm on OSX 10.11.4, here's the version of Python I'm using (I downloaded it from Python.org) -
Python 2.7.11 (v2.7.11:6d1b6a68f775, Dec 5 2015, 12:54:16)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin

So when I try to run the Kivy sample app here - https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython/blob/master/src/linux/binaries_64bit/kivy_.py

I get the following error -
[CEF Python] Initialize() called
[CEF Python] CefExecuteProcess(): exitCode = -1

I've tried searching for answers but they all seem to be quite old and refer to a locale.pak that I can't seem to find. How can I resolve this issue?

Setting ApplicationSettings.locale to "en" should fix this. See Issue #163: https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython/issues/163

Yea, I saw that issue but because I'm not familar with this project I wasn't sure where to make those changes. I tried adding "locale":"en" here-https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython/blob/master/src/linux/binaries_64bit/kivy_.py#L142 but that didn't work. I kept getting the same error, where should I make those changes?

I've only tested setting locale using the locale_pak switch as in the wxpython.py example:

g_switches = {
        "locale_pak": cefpython.GetModuleDirectory()
            +"/Resources/en.lproj/locale.pak"
}
cefpython.Initialize(g_applicationSettings, g_switches)

I thought that locale option would work as well, but it wasn't tested. There are some differences for options locales_dir_path and resources_dir_path options on each platform. Use the mac/wxpython.py example as a base:

https://github.com/cztomczak/cefpython/blob/cefpython31/cefpython/cef3/mac/binaries_64bit/wxpython.py#L782

On Linux these options and its values look different:

It's working now, thanks for all of the help!

I added this to the settings -
"resources_dir_path": cefpython.GetModuleDirectory()+"/Resources",

and then added this array -
switches = {
# On Mac it is required to provide path to a specific
# locale.pak file. On Win/Linux you only specify the
# ApplicationSettings.locales_dir_path option.
"locale_pak": cefpython.GetModuleDirectory()
+"/Resources/en.lproj/locale.pak",

# "proxy-server": "socks5://127.0.0.1:8888",
# "no-proxy-server": "",
# "enable-media-stream": "",
# "remote-debugging-port": "12345",
# "disable-gpu": "",
# "--invalid-switch": "" -> Invalid switch name
}

Then initialized CEF like so:
cefpython.Initialize(settings, switches)
