New submission from tierlieb:
Within locale.py in setlocale your have this piece of code:
if locale and type(locale) is not type(""):
# convert to string
locale = normalize(_build_localename(locale))
That does not work with unicode strings as I found out after wondering quite a
bit about the difference was between my tests and my production code...
So either expand the check here to include type(u"") or make _build_localename
smarter.
