I think the correct answer is "sometimes":

    ANSI C mandates LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE, LC_CTYPE,
    LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, and LC_TIME

    Unix mandates LC_ALL, LC_COLLATE,LC_CTYPE,
    LC_MESSAGES, LC_MONETARY, LC_NUMERIC, and
    LC_TIME

in other words, if it's supported, it should be exposed by
the Python bindings.
