you must call locale.setlocale first, to switch from the default C
locale to a locale of your choice.

>>> import time
>>> print time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S")

>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, "sv_SE") # swedish
'sv_SE'
>>> print time.strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S")
