[issue12735] request full Unicode collation support in std python library

[Guido van Rossum]

Guido van Rossum <guido at python.org> added the comment:

I know I sound like NIH, but I'm always reluctant to add a big 3rd party lib like ICU to the permanent dependencies of all future Python distros.  If people want to use ICU they already can.  OTOH I don't have a better idea. :-(
