Nick Coghlan added the comment:

Anything purely on the Python side of things doesn't work in a traditional C 
environment - CPython relies on the C lib to do conversions during startup, so 
we need the C locale to be set correctly. We can do things differently on Mac 
OS X and iOS because Apple ensure that *C* behaves differently on Mac OS X and 
iOS (and apparently Google do something similar for Android, so I'll update the 
PEP to mention that as well).
