[issue20044] gettext.install() ignores previous call to locale.setlocale()

[Francis Moreau]

New submission from Francis Moreau:

It seems that gettext.install() uses environment variables such as LANGUAGE, to 
find out which language it should use to find the translation file.

This means that any local settings done by setlocale() previoulsy are ignored.

I don't think it's the case with the C implementation.

[issue3907] "for line in file" doesn't work for pipes

[Francis Moreau]

Francis Moreau added the comment:

Sorry for reopening this bug, but I agree with the OP, and I can still see the 
exact same behaviour on python 2.7.6 (archlinux).

At least, the documentation should clarify that doing "for line in file" is not 
strictly equivalent to the "readline" way regarding to the buffering policy 
used with pipes.

I'm also dubious about the buffering optimisation for the pipe case but 
readline() documentation should state that it will never use such buffering 
mechanism so we can safely use it when dealing with pipe.

Thanks

[issue20454] platform.linux_distribution() returns empty value on Archlinux and python 2.7

[Francis Moreau]

New submission from Francis Moreau:

On Archlinux:

$ python2.7 -c 'import platform; print(platform.linux_distribution())'
('', '', '')

This is because Archlinux is not part of the '_supported_dists' list.

Could Archlinux be added to this list ?

Thanks.
