As mentioned earlier, the purpose of the alias table is to map *normalized* local names to the C runtime string, which in some cases use different encoding names that we use in Python. > It also test normalize(locale_alias[localname]) == locale_alias[localname] > == normalize(localname). I.e. that applying normalize() twice doesn't > change a result. That's not intended. The normalize() function is supposed to prepare the locale for the lookup. It's not supposed to be applied to the looked up value.
