I just quickly browsed through the Python doc for this module, and it
seems to me that this just to be used by an application to change which
locale it should used
- C if not set
- system default if called with locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'')
- custom if called with locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'blabla')
So unless I miss the point, or read too fast, this is not setting the
system default locale, which is what we want here :)
Meaning we probably have to set and store $LANG for the users that will
run this tool.
