[issue5562] Locale-based date formatting crashes on non-ASCII data

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

(if I explicitly set another encoding, it doesn't work however:

>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, "fr_FR.ISO-8859-1")
'fr_FR.ISO-8859-1'
>>> time.strftime("%B", (2009,2,1,0,0,0,0,0,0))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 1-3:
invalid data

)
