I think Windows uses different locale names. Could you please try
'norwegian_Norway' or some such instead? IOW, what does

import locale
print locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,"")

print for you, if you have Norwegian settings?

Passing an empty string to setlocale is recommended, anyway, as it
copies the user's conventions - that way you avoid hard-coding
anything into your program.
