Eryk Sun added the comment:
As Martin said, you need to set the LC_TIME category using an empty string to
use the locale LC_* environment variables. Python 3 sets LC_CTYPE at startup
(on Unix platforms only), but LC_TIME is left in the initial C locale:
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, None)
'en_DK.UTF-8'
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, None)
'C'
>>> time.strftime('%x')
'02/06/17'
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, "")
'en_DK.UTF-8'
>>> time.strftime('%x')
'2017-02-06'
