Bug Description

Using Turkish locale (tr_TR.utf8) i get the following error, and due to this error i cannot see download progress bar:
----------------------------
02:55:02 environ No tr_TR translation found for domain kiwi
02:55:02 environ No tr_TR translation found for domain lottanzb
02:55:02 environ overriding default domain, was lottanzb

-------------------------
Please pay attention to 'PROCESSiNG'.
Turkish has 4 letter "I"s. English has only two, a lowercase dotted i and an uppercase dotless I. Turkish has lowercase and uppercase forms of both dotted and dotless I.

Distro: Arch Linux
Python: Tested with python 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6 series, same result.

Hi ras0ir,

thanks a lot for reporting this bug. It seems to be a quite widespread problem and I just noticed that it could also be encountered in Exaile. Fixing the bug is not particularly hard and can be done by omitting the usage of the upper() method, which doesn't do what we expect from it when the Turkish locale is used. The upper() method is used twice in LottaNZB's source code. I just fixed the problem in backend.py, which causes the download progress bar to malfunction. Additionally, the upper method is used to save the HellaNZB configuration file in the stand-alone mode. Did you encounter any problems with that or didn't you use the stand-alone mode?

I'll commit the fix for the bug soon. If we decide to release a LottaNZB version 0.4.1, the fix will certainly be included. Would you mind if I create a source package for you with the fix included so that you can test if it works?

Well, i only use local front-end mode, and it will be great if you provide source with the patch. On the other hand, if i try to use stand-alone mode i get the following error:
11:27:06 lottanzb.modes Could not enter usage mode 'Stand-alone'.
11:27:06 lottanzb.modes.ui /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/internet/_sslverify.py:5: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead

But it's not so important because many distros have not switched to python 2.6 yet, and i know the warning is related to the python2.6

I've attached a screenshot from stand-alone mode.

This source package contains a potential fix for the bug. Would you mind giving it a try and tell me if it works?

You can extract the package and install it as described on lottanzb.org.

Unfortunately, we didn't have the time yet to check the Python 2.6/3.0 compatibility, but I guess it will be necessary to do so soon. The problem won't be LottaNZB itself anyway, but its dependencies.

The patch fixed my problem exactly and LottaNZB works like a charm now.

Thank you very much.

Comment on revision 598:

"Don't use the locale dependent `upper` method when saving HellaNZB's configuration file.

ras0ir, who reported this bug, didn't test LottaNZB's stand-alone mode but I'm pretty sure he would have run into this problem that should be fixed with this revision."

Here's the new patched source package that should also fix LottaNZB's stand-alone mode. I guess you would need to use Python 2.5 for that. :-/

Well, i've tested it using python 2.5 and 2.4 and it worked.
However, using 2.6 i got

without any debug output.
