What happens when you try it without the underscore?

import locale

comment:2 Changed 16 years ago by jm.carp@…

The locale module works fine, but _locale doesn't. This is a problem because wxpython requires _locale.

comment:3 Changed 16 years ago by mf2k (Frank Schima)

FYI, I running wxpython just fine. I'm also able to import _locale. Can you provide more information about your setup please?

What OS? What version of Xcode? What version of MacPorts? What does "port installed python25" return? What does "port installed py25-wxpython" return?

Works for me:

$ which python
/opt/local/bin/python
$ python -V
Python 2.5.2
$ python -c "import locale"
$ python -c "import _locale"
$ port provides /opt/local/lib/python2.5/locale.py
/opt/local/lib/python2.5/locale.py is provided by: python25
$ port provides /opt/local/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_locale.so
/opt/local/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_locale.so is provided by: python25
$ port installed python25
The following ports are currently installed:
  python25 @2.5.2_5+darwin_9 (active)

I'm using macports 1.6 and xcode 3.1. Python is installed fine:

bash-3.2$ port installed python25
The following ports are currently installed:
  python25 @2.5.2_5+darwin_9 (active)

But it looks like I'm missing _locale.so

bash-3.2$ ls /opt/local/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_locale*
/opt/local/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload/_locale_failed.so

I checked the output from installing python25, and I noticed this warning:

*** WARNING: renaming "_locale" since importing it failed: dlopen(build/lib.macosx-10.3-i386-2.5/_locale.so, 2): Symbol not found: _libintl_bindtextdomain

What's going on?

What version of the gettext port do you have installed (port installed gettext)?

comment:8 Changed 15 years ago by blb@…

Any word? Also note that python24 and python25 have seen updates since.

Just wanted to say i had the same issue. But after reading here I figured it must be a library I had in an 32 bit versoin of only. And now i've used +universal to install python. The local depends n gettext for me (libintl.8.dylib). To fix uninstall python and fix dependency then reinstall :)
