Hi, ALL,
I need to perform a subj.
Looking at the Google I found following thread with explanation:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36139/how-do-i-sort-a-list-of-strings-
in-python
However, doing this in my python shell produces an error:
C:\Documents and Settings\Igor.FORDANWORK\My
Documents\GitHub\webapp>python Python 2.7.5 (default, May 15 2013,

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "c:\python27\lib\locale.py", line 547, in setlocale
return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
What is wrong with this?
Thank you.
Hello Igor,
Windows maintains it's own names for locales, so you need to
supply the Windows name if you're workong on Windows.
You might find these links helpful:

This one says to look at locale.locala_alias, but that is not helpful.
>>> for k, v in la.items():
if v.startswith ('en') and 'UTF' in v:
print(k, " # ", v)
universal.utf8@ucs4 # en_US.UTF-8
But that local does not work on my machine.
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#20>", line 1, in <module>
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8')
File "C:\Programs\Python34\lib\locale.py", line 592, in setlocale
return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
locale.locale_alias must not be machine limited.

This merely says to look at a now dead link.
