problem with %B in persian locale

[mostafaasadi]

Hi I have this :

locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US')
jdt = jdatetime.date.fromgregorian(
    day=int(d[2]),
    month=strptime(d[1], '%b').tm_mon,
    year=int(d[5])
)
print(jdt)
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'fa_IR.UTF-8')
print(jdt)
jdt2 = jdt.strftime('%d %B')
print(jdt2)
print(jdatetime.datetime.now().strftime("%d %B"))

and outout is :

1396-11-29
1396-11-29
29 Bahman
29 بهمن

my problem is about jdt2 that wont change bahman to بهمن is it my fault ? or a problem in lib ? thank you 🌹

@mostafaasadi it's because the months setting is configured during init

[mostafaasadi]

you mean if I get 11 from 1396-11-29 and int it (int()), I can get name of month as persian ? how ?

The locale should be set before jdatetime object is created

In [1]: import locale

In [2]: import jdatetime

In [3]: date1 = jdatetime.datetime.now()

In [4]: date1.strftime('%d %B')
Out[4]: u'30 Bahman'

In [5]: locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'fa_IR.UTF-8')
Out[5]: 'fa_IR.UTF-8'

In [6]: date1.strftime('%d %B')
Out[6]: u'30 Bahman'

In [7]: date2 = jdatetime.datetime.now()

In [8]: date2.strftime('%d %B')
Out[8]: u'30 \u0628\u0647\u0645\u0646'
