Stefan, theoretically this is

        A valid locale description (as understood by S-SYS) is:

                language[_TERRITORY[.CODESET[@Modifier]]]

        where language is indeed a ISO 639 language code (see
        doc/iso639.txt) and _TERRITORY is indeed a ISO 3166 country code
        (see doc/iso3166.txt).
..
        The ISO3166 Maintenance Agency can be found at:
        #       http://www.iso.ch/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/index.html
..
        http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/

A good UNIX has copies of the files in /usr/share/misc/{iso639,iso3166}.
I may be out-of-date a bit, though.
(And: this is not about Python, of course.)
