Sorry for the trouble. App Engine does not support any locale besides
the default POSIX "c" locale. The reason is that the locale modules
used by Python are operating system dependent and vary greatly from
computer to computer. It would be difficult to provide a consistent
view of all available locales across developer machines and our Google
servers.

Please file an issue on the issue tracker if you would like to see
this addressed (though I'm not sure what the priority would be):
http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/list

However, keep in mind that it should not be too difficult to write
your own simple functions to handle your locale properly. I realize
this isn't ideal, but it should help you move forward!
