Look in zope.i18n.locales ...
Yes, I can see what's there but I do not seem to be able to call it from
a page template. If I try the following example from
http://wiki.zope.org/zope3/ZPTInternationalizationExamples
<p i18n:translate="longDateTime"
i18n:domain="string:calendar" i18n:target="string:de"
i18n:data="python:DateTime()">
Based on what the id specifies, the date time object is returned in
typical German format: Montag, 1. Januar 2001 (example)

This is quite outdated. It doesn't surprise me you're getting an error here.
Like Jean-Francois said, zope.i18n.locales has some good support for
formatting datetime values (the Python variant, not Zope's DateTime
variant). In Zope 3, this functionality is available through
request.locale. In Zope 2, you will have to create the locale object
yourself like so:
from zope.i18n.interfaces import IUserPreferredLanguages
from zope.i18n.locales import locales
languages = IUserPreferredLanguages(request)
langs = languages.getPreferredLanguages()
if langs:
parts = (langs[0].split('-') + [None, None])[:3]
else:
parts = (None, None, None)
locale = locales.getLocale(*parts)
Then you can format datetimes such as the 'modified' variable in the
below example like so:
<p i18n:translate="" tal:condition="modified"
tal:define="formatter python:locale.dates.getFormatter('dateTime')">
Last modified on
<span i18n:name="modified_date"
tal:replace="python:formatter.format(modified)" />
</p>
My book explains all of this in detail. I suggest picking up a copy :)
