Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  pkgrel 3, used bzr sources so this bug doesn't exist anymore, will revert to normal sources on the next pkgver bump

very strange. It works for me.

can you post your locale?
Comment by Franck V. (franck_v) - Tuesday, 23 November 2010, 20:18 GMT
My locale is fr_FR.utf8.

The problem seems to be in line 26 of /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/PyRoom/__init__.py:
lang_in_env = os.environ.get('LANGUAGE', None)
if lang_in_env:
languages_used.append(lang_in_env.split())

lang_in_env.split() is an array, so languages_used is an array of array which is wrong (should be an array of strings).

known upstream problem:

There seem to be a bug reported upstream:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pyroom/+bug/367990

A possible workaround is to do:
LANGUAGE= pyroom
Comment by Thomas Dziedzic (tomd123) - Tuesday, 23 November 2010, 20:39 GMT
strange, upstream seems to be stalling because of needed help with translations on lp.

In the mean time, you could use pyroom-bzr which shouldn't have the problem, or if you want, you could backport the patch.
