Craig:
I have my Python compiled with --locale and all the LC_ variables set to my locale's specifics for Mexico.
LANGUAGE=es_MX
LC_ALL=es_MX
LANG=es_MX
Zope is started with the -L parameter on the /usr/local/Zope/start script :
#! /bin/sh
export TZ="America/Mexico_City"
#umask 077 for worldpilot use
umask 077
reldir=`dirname $0`
export Z_REALM='this system: '
PYTHONHOME=`cd $reldir; pwd`
export PYTHONHOME
exec /usr/bin/python \
$PYTHONHOME/z2.py -u nobody -L es_MX -p '/home/httpd/somedirectory/zope-cgi-bin/Zope.cgi' \
"$@"
Then what I use for date formatting in DTML methods is:
<dtml-call "ZopeTime().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')"> or
<dtml-var "ZopeTime().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')"> or
<dtml-call "REQUEST.set('somevariable', ZopeTime().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S'))"> when you need to set a variable with a date
The %Y %m %d $H %M %S are formatting strings to the strftime functions. Look at the Zope Quick Reference for more information on this formatting variables, some of them DO use the locale settings
defined above. You can control what you get on date formatting with strftime().
Hope this helps.

Subject: [Zope] Date formatting problems
I am trying to format the dates in my Squishdot site so that they don't app=
ear
in American format.
However, the following code: <dtml-var date=5Fcreated fmt=3D"%d/%m/%Y - %H:=
%M">
results in an error message saying
Error Type: TypeError
Error Value: illegal argument type for built-in operation
Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong=3F
