[issue29457] strftime('%x') does not use my locale

[Hugo Osvaldo Barrera]

Hugo Osvaldo Barrera added the comment:

It would seem that

    locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, "")

fixes the issue. However, there seems to be no mention on this on the relevant documentation page[1], which is actually the source of my confusion.

As a "fix" to this issue (since I'm probably not the first nor last person to come across it), can we add a note regarding this below the table in section 8.1.8.
