Hi, In Windows I can change the regional settings manually in the control panel. But how do I do this programmatically? I tried setting LANG but this does not work in Windows. Kernel32's SetLocaleInfo sounds promising, but "This setting only affects the user override portion of the locale settings; it does not set the system defaults." https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee491893(v=winembedded.60).aspx Another route might be _winreg (but that's probably more brittle and, more importantly, the registry sucks) My goal is to easily run my unittests in a number of locales (actually a platform x locale x python version matrix) Thanks!

You're probably better off asking this on https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32 which is also available as gmane.comp.python.windows, although you might get lucky here. If you do a rather more specific statement than "this does not work in Windows" would be helpful. Your Python and Windows version(s) might possibly assist as well :)
