    <p>How can I set the default locale (LANG, LC_ALL = en_US.UTF-8) with which apps are run in OS X Mountain Lion?</p> <p>I am trying to run a Python program packaged to an .app with py2app. When running the app by double clicking on it the, code segment</p> <pre><code>import locale print locale.getlocale() </code></pre> <p>returns (None,None)</p> <p>However, when running the app from terminal by executing</p> <pre><code>opensesame.app/Contents/MacOS/opensesame </code></pre> <p>the getlocale() function correctly returns (en_US,UTF-8)<br/> (As the terminal has the correct environment settings)</p> <p>I got as far as finding out that apps run in a different environment when double-clicked than when they are run from the terminal, so now I'm trying to set the default encoding variables for apps.</p> <p>I have tried the suggestions I found on: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4719789/how-can-you-get-the-system-default-language-locale-in-a-py2app-packaged-python">How can you get the system default language/locale, in a py2app packaged Python app on Mac OS X?</a> and followed the instructions on: <a href="http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/Articles/ChoosingLocalizations.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/Articles/ChoosingLocalizations.html</a></p> <p>I have added both <em>CFBundleLocalizations</em> and <em>LSEnvironment</em> keys to Info.plist (posted below) inside the app bundle, but the getlocale() function keeps returing (None,None)</p> <p>Can anyone tell me to correctly set these variables for OS X apps so that Python picks these up?</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleDevelopmentRegion&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;English&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleDisplayName&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;opensesame&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleExecutable&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;opensesame&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleIconFile&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;opensesame.icns&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleIdentifier&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;org.pythonmac.unspecified.opensesame&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;6.0&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleName&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;opensesame&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundlePackageType&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;APPL&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleShortVersionString&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;0.0.0&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleSignature&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;????&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleVersion&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;0.0.0&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleLocalizations&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;en_US.UTF-8&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;LSHasLocalizedDisplayName&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;NSAppleScriptEnabled&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;NSHumanReadableCopyright&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Copyright not specified&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;NSMainNibFile&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;MainMenu&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;NSPrincipalClass&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;NSApplication&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;LSEnvironment&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;LANG&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;en_US.UTF-8&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;LC_ALL&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;en_US.UTF-8&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;PyMainFileNames&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;__boot__&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;PyOptions&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;alias&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;argv_emulation&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;emulate_shell_environment&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;no_chdir&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;prefer_ppc&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;site_packages&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;use_pythonpath&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;PyResourcePackages&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array/&gt; &lt;key&gt;PyRuntimeLocations&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;@executable_path/../Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;PythonInfoDict&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;PythonExecutable&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;@executable_path/../Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;PythonLongVersion&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;2.7.3 (default, Mar 19 2013, 18:26:22) [GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 4.2 (clang-425.0.27)]&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;PythonShortVersion&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;2.7&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;py2app&lt;/key&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;alias&lt;/key&gt; &lt;false/&gt; &lt;key&gt;template&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;app&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;version&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;0.7.3&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt; </code></pre>

    1. COWhich version of py2app do you use? Do other environment variables in LSEnvironment end up in os.environ? Recent versions of py2app overwrite LC_ALL in the environment to ensure py3k initializes correctly and IIRC I don't restore a previous value of LC_ALL afterwards.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
