[Python-Dev] test___all__ failing; Windows

test___all__
test test___all__ crashed -- exceptions.AttributeError:
     'locale' module has no attribute 'LC_MESSAGES'

And indeed it does not:

Nor is LC_MESSAGES std C (the other LC_XXX guys are).

I pin the blame on

    from _locale import *

in locale.py -- who knows what that's supposed to export?  Certainly not
