Hello,
When running eric4 on a Turkish locale environment, eric4 fails to start with
the following error [2]
The problem seems to be in the line "No module named base64mIme"
Notice the "I" in the line. In Turkish locale (and some other locales)
lowercase "I" is not "i" but it is "ı" (dotless i) [1]. My guess is, it is
happening in a lowercase conversion somewhere, but since I am not familiar
with the code I could not find a solution.
I can reproduce the problem with 20080628 snapshot and 4.1.5 release.
Starting with "LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 eric4" works fine.
How can we fix this ?
