There is a much easier more consistent way:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "en_AU.UTF-8")
'en_AU.UTF-8'
doesn't work on all Python platforms, though:
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "en_AU.UTF-8")
Traceback (most recent call last):

locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
and is likely to give you somewhat unpredictable output if you use the
machine's actual locale:
>>> import os
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, os.environ["LANG"])
'sv_SE.UTF-8'
>>> locale.format("%0.2f", 5000000, True)
'5000000,00'
