Nick Coghlan added the comment:
Looking into this at the PyCon Pune sprints, the problem appears to be arising
due to the following difference in behaviour when the unqualifed `en_IN` locale
is set:
$ LANG=en_IN.UTF-8 python3 -c "import locale;
print(locale.getlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE), locale.getpreferredencoding(False),
sep='\n')"
('en_IN', 'UTF-8')
UTF-8
$ LANG=en_IN python3 -c "import locale;
print(locale.getlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE), locale.getpreferredencoding(False),
sep='\n')"
('en_IN', 'ISO8859-1')
UTF-8
re.LOCALE is presumably picking up the "UTF-8" rather than the "ISO8859-1", and
hence the test is failing.
