DATE_FORMATS on Xubuntu/Ubuntu pelicanconf.py

[gotchafr]

Hi mosra,

On Ubuntu the date format

DATE_FORMATS = {'en': ('en_US', '%b %d %Y')}

produces the error below...

I had to change to

DATE_FORMATS = {'en': ('en_US.UTF-8', '%b %d %Y')}

in order to process the site without errors. I don't know how to handle this in an elegant fashion. Testing sys.platform == 'linux'in the pelicanconf is not very nice. Perhaps just add a comment as I did on my fork:

#On Linux systems use the second format
DATE_FORMATS = {'en': ('en_US', '%b %d %Y')}
#DATE_FORMATS = {'en': ('en_US.UTF-8', '%b %d %Y')}

This is the error...

ERROR: Could not process pelican/theme.rst

Cheers...

Hi, sorry, didn't see that you opened also these issues :)

This one is fixed with #5 and ba031f3, then. I think I'll need to use sys.platform at some point anyway, see mosra/magnum-website#1
