The page you link to is pretty clear about it:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'en_US.UTF-8') # vary depending on your
lang/locale
Sort order and encoding may vary from country to country, os to os, machine
to machine. As the error message says, 'en_US.UTF-8' is not a locale
supported on your machine. I suggest that you try using the default:
>>> import locale
>>> defaultlocale = locale.getdefaultlocale()
>>> defaultlocale
('de_DE', 'UTF-8')
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, defaultlocale)
'de_DE.UTF-8'
>>> encoding = defaultlocale[1]
>>> words = u"A a B b ä Ä".split()
>>> print "".join(sorted(words))
ABabÄä
>>> print "".join(sorted(words, key=lambda s:
locale.strxfrm(s.encode(encoding))))
