Marc-Andre Lemburg added the comment:

I wouldn't say this is a feature request. 

What the code wanted to check is "if this is an iterable of two strings, 
convert these to a locale string". I have no idea why the doc string uses 
"iterable". IMO, a tuple of two strings would have been fine and make the test 
case a lot simpler - too late to fix, though.

If the code works with Unicode strings, I think we can change the test to:

if locale and not isinstance(locale, basestring):
    ...

In Python 3, the function will only accept Unicode strings, so no need to fix 
things there.

@tierlieb: Could you provide a patch with test for this ? Thanks.
