[issue3067] setlocale error message is confusing

[Jyrki Pulliainen]

Jyrki Pulliainen <jyrki at dywypi.org> added the comment:

Added a patch that implements two things:

setlocale now raises locale.Error('Locale must be None, a string, or an iterable of two strings -- language code, encoding.'). I decided to remove the proposed .format(locale), as it wasa a bit confusing when passing a tuple containing invalid items.

I also added two tests, one for bytes and another for a tuple of two bytes.
