You could look into the windows registry, the key
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls has all the supported LCID's
listed. If not, you could simply get the codepage provided by
locale.setlocale(), e.g.:
import locale
print(locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ))
prints Portuguese_Brazil.1252 for me. That codepage part is actually a
LCID, that you can then cross-reference with any LCID list on the net. I
guess there may be a way to look that up entirely from the registry,
including getting a short reference or ANSI codepage from the LCID, but i
doubt it'd be portable at all.
Maybe what you should do is to make up a dict with known LCID's and their
corresponding language codes. I don't know of any way to do this
automatically in python...

Is there a way to map Linux locale codes to Windows locale codes?
Windows has locale codes like 'Spanish_Mexico'. We would like to use the
more ISO compliant 'es_MX' locale format under Windows.
Is there a resource or API that might help us with this mapping?
Babel is not an option for us since we're using Python 2.7.
Thank you,
Malcolm
