[Qgis-user] localisation of date fails in QGIS 3.2

[Frank Broniewski]

Hi Reginald,

 

I couldn’t find the post where you describe your problem. I just tried your code, this is the result from QGIS 3.2 (Windows) Python console, auto-locale German Germany (de_DE):

import datetime

vandaag = datetime.datetime.now() 

dag = vandaag.day 

maand = vandaag.strftime("%B") 

jaar = vandaag.year 

datum = str(dag) + " " + maand + " " + str(jaar)

print(datum)

9 August 2018

 

*but* when I override the locale to nl_BE I still get the same output as with the auto-locale.

 

import locale

print(locale.getlocale())

(None, None)

 

So I believe the locale is somehow not determinable for Python and a fallback is used.

 

Doing :

import locale

print(locale.getlocale())

(None, None)

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'nl_BE')

'nl_BE'

print(locale.getlocale())

('nl_BE', 'ISO8859-1')

import datetime

vandaag = datetime.datetime.now() 

dag = vandaag.day 

maand = vandaag.strftime("%B") 

jaar = vandaag.year 

datum = str(dag) + " " + maand + " " + str(jaar)

print(datum)

9 augustus 2018

 

does the trick though. There should be a way to get the set locale from PyQGIS somehow though …

 

Hth,

Frank

Hi Nyall,

Somehow my post shows the code but my previous post doesn't.
Anyway this is how the code looks:

vandaag = datetime.now() 
dag = vandaag.day 
maand = vandaag.strftime("%B") 
jaar = vandaag.year 
datum = str(dag) + " " + maand + " " + str(jaar)

I suspect that maybe strftime changed in python 3.6?

Regards,

I think you forgot to include the code? Can you re-share?
