Message 310947 - Python tracker
Hmm, even though we reverted the original test_re based change, and the initial attempted fix for bpo-20087 was also reverted, I'm still not currently seeing the failure for: LANG=en_IN.utf8 ./python -m test -v test_re I do have the locale installed, so it's not a result of falling back to the C locale and that getting coerced to C.UTF-8: $ LANG=en_IN.utf8 locale -k currency_symbol currency_symbol="₹" Jaysinh, are you still seeing this test failure on a fresh checkout?
