[Python-apps-team] Bug#717576: ocrfeeder version 0.7.11-3 (testing) fails to start in Wheezy

[Subhashis Roy]

Package: ocrfeeder
Version: 0.7.11-3
Severity: important

I installed ocrfeeder from testing in my desktop (amd64) running Debian
stable. It did not show any problem in installation.

However, while running it on the command line by typing 'ocrfeeder',
I get the following error
----------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/ocrfeeder", line 31, in <module>
    from ocrfeeder.studio.studioBuilder import Studio
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ocrfeeder/studio/studioBuilder.py", line 26, in <module>
    import widgetPresenter
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ocrfeeder/studio/widgetPresenter.py", line 24, in <module>
    from ocrfeeder.util.configuration import ConfigurationManager
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ocrfeeder/util/configuration.py", line 83, in <module>
    class ConfigurationManager(object):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ocrfeeder/util/configuration.py", line 123, in ConfigurationManager
    LANGUAGE: locale.getdefaultlocale()[0].split('_')[0],
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'
-------------

Please fix, so that one can a more updated version from testing in
Debian stable.

Yours sincerely,
Subhashis
