Django unsupported locale settings

[Mo Mughrabi]

I've been developing an application using Django for the past a year. The application was written in a Debian environment, the development and testing was entirely done in a debain machine.

Recently, I decided to move the application to my local Mac OS X based laptop. using port's I did a virtual environment and pulled my project from github. When I try to runserver, am getting "unsupported locale setting" exception.

My application uses locale heavily, I noticed though the language setting in my machine is set for en_US.UTF-8 while on the debian machine it was en_US.UTF8. I don't know if the dash is the reason why it is failing though.

My application is using django-localeurl for creating language code url schema for i10n and i18n.

below is the exception am getting

any idea's what could be causing this?

update:

when I logged in to terminal and wrote "locale" I got the below

(mazban)Mohammed-Mughrabis-MacBook-Pro:mazban mo$ locale

LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

LC_ALL=

Mac-based development is working great for me. But you do have to modify manage.py slightly, and add the following:

os.environ.setdefault(‘LANG’,’en_CA’)
