New submission from albertjan:
getlocale() is supposed to (?) return a locale two-tuple in a platform-specific
notation. However, in *Windows* 7 64, with Python 3.4, 3.3 and 2.7 a
*unix-like*, abbreviated, lang_territory notation is used for french, german,
portuguese, spanish. In other words: In these four cases, the output of
setlocale is not equal to ".".join(locale.getlocale())
## Code that demonstrates the differences
from __future__ import print_function
import locale
import collections
import pprint
languages = ("chinese czech danish dutch english finnish french german greek "
"hungarian icelandic italian japanese korean norwegian polish "
"portuguese russian slovak spanish swedish turkish")
d = collections.defaultdict(list)
t = collections.namedtuple("Locale", "lang setlocale getlocale")
for language in languages.split():
sloc = locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, language)
gloc = locale.getlocale()
record = t(language, sloc, gloc)
if gloc[0][2] == "_":
d["unix-like"].append(record)
else:
d["windows-like"].append(record)
pprint.pprint(dict(d))
## output
