ImportError: cannot import name normalize

before the version which I got this crash messages, I got some message like 'warning: local wont import , cause no init.py found'
and the LocalMiddleware.process_request method take a long time on test.

The traceback looks more like a problem with your Python install than a problem with Django. The Django code attempts:

from optparse import OptionParser, NO_DEFAULT

which, after a few calls in Python code ultimately tries:

from locale import normalize

which generates the error.

Can you issue either of these imports from a plain Python prompt on this machine? If not, then the problem is with your Python install, not Django.

FWIW, internationalization seems to be working fine for me with r12063 on a machine that appears to be similar to yours (Windows, Python 2.5). I can set LANG is settings.py to some language other than English and the admin interface comes up fine, displaying messages in the chosen language.

Also, you left out of this report some key information like what you do to trigger the error (from the traceback some manage.py command, but what exactly might be relevant) and what LANG you have set in settings.py. That too could be relevant.
