Sure, if we code it in Python, supporting it will by much easier:
def normalize_digits(s):
digits = {m.group(1) for m in re.finditer('(\d)', s)}
trtab = {ord(d): str(unicodedata.digit(d)) for d in digits}
return s.translate(trtab)
>>> normalize_digits('١٢٣٤.٥٦')
'1234.56'
I am not sure this belongs to the locale module, however. It seems to
me, something like 'unicodealgo' for unicode algorithms would be more
appropriate.
