I don't know if the behavior is considered a bug or just undocumented, but
under Python 2.7.3 it's still the same. locale.getpreferredencoding() does
return UTF-8, but the second element in the tuple locale.getdefaultlocale() is
"utf_8_valencia", which is not a valid encoding despite the documentation
saying it's supposed to be an encoding name.
>From my terminal:
$ python -V
Python 2.7.3
$ LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8@valencia python -c 'import locale; print
locale.getpreferredencoding()'
UTF-8
$ LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8@valencia python -c 'import locale; print
locale.getdefaultlocale()'
('ca_ES', 'utf_8_valencia')
$ LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8 python -c 'import locale; print
locale.getpreferredencoding()'
UTF-8
$ LANG=ca_ES.UTF-8 python -c 'import locale; print locale.getdefaultlocale()'
('ca_ES', 'UTF-8')
