You could look into the windows registry, the key "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls" has all the supported LCID's listed. If not, you could simply get the codepage provided by locale.setlocale(), e.g.:
import locale print(locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")) prints "Portuguese_Brazil.1252" for me. That codepage part is actually a LCID, that you can then cross-reference with any LCID list on the net. I guess there may be a way to look that up entirely from the registry, including getting a short reference or ANSI codepage from the LCID, but i doubt it'd be portable at all. Maybe what you should do is to make up a dict with known LCID's and their corresponding language codes. I don't know of any way to do this automatically in python...
