This depends on the C runtime. For Windows, see MSDN: setlocale http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/x99tb11d Language strings http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/39cwe7zf Country/Region strings http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cdax410z Code pages http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc195051 For example (untested): >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'German_Germany.1252') >From the MSDN setlocale() docs: The "locale" argument can be formatted as follows: setlocale( LC_ALL, "" ); Sets the locale to the default, which is the user-default ANSI code page obtained from the operating system. setlocale( LC_ALL, ".OCP" ); Explicitly sets the locale to the current OEM code page obtained from the operating system. setlocale( LC_ALL, ".ACP" ); Sets the locale to the ANSI code page obtained from the operating system. setlocale( LC_ALL, "[lang_ctry]" ); Sets the locale to the language and country/region indicated, using the default code page obtained from the host operating system. setlocale( LC_ALL, "[lang_ctry.cp]" ); Sets the locale to the language, country/region, and code page indicated in the [lang_ctry.cp] string. You can use various combinations of language, country/region, and code page. For example: setlocale( LC_ALL, "French_Canada.1252" ); // Set code page to French Canada ANSI default setlocale( LC_ALL, "French_Canada.ACP" ); // Set code page to French Canada OEM default setlocale( LC_ALL, "French_Canada.OCP" ); _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
