File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/locale.py", line 372, in setlocale
return _setlocale(category, locale)
locale.Error: locale setting not supported
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'en_US.ISO8859-1')
'en_US.ISO8859-1'
>>> locale.format('%g', 12.34)
'12.34'
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'fr_FR.ISO8859-1')
'fr_FR.ISO8859-1'
