[New-bugs-announce] [issue19534] normalize() in locale.py fails for sr_RS.UTF-8 at latin

I found that Serbian translations in Latin do not work when the locale
name is written as sr_RS.UTF-8 at latin (one gets the cyrillic
translations instead), but they *do* work when the locale name is
written as sr_RS at latin (i.e. omitting the '.UTF-8'):

$ LANG='sr_RS.UTF-8'  python2 -c 'import gettext; print(gettext.ldgettext("anaconda", "What language would you like to use during the installation process?").decode("UTF-8"))'
Који језик бисте желели да користите током процеса инсталације?
mfabian at ari:~
$ LANG='sr_RS.UTF-8 at latin'  python2 -c 'import gettext; print(gettext.ldgettext("anaconda", "What language would you like to use during the installation process?").decode("UTF-8"))'
Који језик бисте желели да користите током процеса инсталације?
mfabian at ari:~
$ LANG='sr_RS at latin'  python2 -c 'import gettext; print(gettext.ldgettext("anaconda", "What language would you like to use during the installation process?").decode("UTF-8"))'
Koji jezik biste želeli da koristite tokom procesa instalacije?

$ 

The “gettext” command line tool does not have this problem:

mfabian at ari:~
$ LANG='sr_RS at latin' gettext anaconda "What language would you like to use during the installation process?"
Koji jezik biste želeli da koristite tokom procesa instalacije?mfabian at ari:~
$ LANG='sr_RS.UTF-8 at latin' gettext anaconda "What language would you like to use during the installation process?"
Koji jezik biste želeli da koristite tokom procesa instalacije?mfabian at ari:~
$ LANG='sr_RS.UTF-8' gettext anaconda "What language would you like to use during the installation process?"
Који језик бисте желели да користите током процеса инсталације?mfabian at ari:~
