The postresq discussion and some earlier Python issues suggest using ICU to
properly implement Unicode functions like collation across all platforms.
In my experience, the locale module is error-prone and not reliable, especially
if you want portability. It just uses functions provided by the OS. And the
locales (LC_CTYPE, LC_MESSAGE, etc.) are process-wide which become a major
issue if you want to serve different clients using different locales... Windows
supports a different locale per thread if I remember correctly.
It would be more reliable to use a good library like ICU. You may try:

= strings.sort(key=lambda x: collator[loc].getCollationKey(x).getByteArray())
