Localization is probably not a good candidate for a Sprint at this

The only item I can think of that might work would be OS Locale lookup.
Query the native Operating System (Linux, OS X, Windows) for its
Locale set and for any custom Date Time, Numeric, and Currency
settings. This will require Swig wrapped C / C++ API code for each of
the target platforms.
Fair enough and thanks for the info Brian. I was planning to start a
French localization project myself in the coming months and Arnaud
Estienne, a French volunteer, proposed to work on this as well. May be
we should think about hosting such a sprint at EuroPython since it's in
July, we'll have more experience with it and I and Arnaud could meet in
person, may be with others interested in localization (better chance to
meet them there...). What do you guys think? (Brian and Ted specifically).
BTW, Arnaud, are you here?... :) You told me you subscribed to the list
but I haven't seen any intro email from you yet. May be it's a good time
to pitch in and say 'hi'... :)
Cheers,
