(def function?) I include this below, hopefully this may save you searching for
locale.py (Pyhon 2.6) should you need it and wish to answer the above
questions, it may help.
def setlocale(category, locale=None):
""" Set the locale for the given category. The locale can be
a string, a locale tuple (language code, encoding), or None.
Locale tuples are converted to strings the locale aliasing
engine. Locale strings are passed directly to the C lib.
category may be given as one of the LC_* values.
"""
if locale and type(locale) is not type(""):
# convert to string
locale = normalize(_build_localename(locale))
return _setlocale(category, locale)
As a side-note, in addition to what other have said, the headline of the
function def
def setlocale(category, locale=None)
says that None is the default (standard) value for the parameter 'locale'. This
means that, if ever you provide no value for it when calling setlocale, then the
value None is used in standard. So, you could as well call it like:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL) # no value at all for param 'locale'
instead of you correction
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, None)
for the initial version
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')
This is actually good coding practice (in all language which have default
values).
