John,
A bit more. LC_ALL should be left alone, but a python program should set
the locale. (See
http://askubuntu.com/questions/795455/python-default-locale-is-not-working)
That advice works for me in a python interpreter
>>> import locale
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'')
'en_AU.UTF-8'
>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%x %X")
'22/01/17 20:35:56'
I note that weewx code for 3.7 has the engine run the setlocale()
statement. (Tom, was this to fix an issue like this or?... I note that the
commit says to just report the locale but it does more than that).
Cheers
Darryn
