Summary: error locale.getlocale() with LANGUAGE=eu_ES

Initial Comment:
My LANGUAGE is set tu eu_ES but the getlocale() 
output is (None, None).
This is check with the command

python -c "import locale; print locale.getlocale()"

python version 2.4
os. linux - ubuntu

It's an intended behavior and conforms POSIX standard.
locale doesn't set until program calls locale.setlocale()
explicitly.

['ko_KR', 'utf']
