Hello Terry,
Regarding your second point, my mistake in not checking the link:
I'd seen a similar one elsewhere and assumed they were the same.
This link should work:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hzz3tw78
As to your first point, you're right, it seems setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,
'en_US.UTF-8') doesn't work on Windows.
From what I read of the link above and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/goglobal/bb896001.aspx
given therein, I am going to guess that .UTF-8 is not supported for any
language.
It seems the locale name needs to be one of the aliases provided
at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/39cwe7zf, so for example
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'usa') returns
'English_United States.1252'.
Do you know if this is something people programming on Windows
should just be aware of, or is there a case for a hint of some
kind in the locale module documentation?
*Definitely the latter. Perhaps you could open an issue with a specific
suggestion.
