Sorry for being unclear. My question was about the following lines from http://docs.python.org/library/locale.html#locale.getpreferredencoding: """On some systems, it is necessary to invoke setlocale() to obtain the user preferences, so this function is not thread-safe. If invoking setlocale is not necessary or desired, do_setlocale should be set to False.""" So my question was about what happens on such systems where invoking setlocale is necessary to obtain the user preferences?
