The web server is on my machine - doesn't it use its regional settings?
I've seen a little more in the meantime:

xx = locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '')

# print HTML header, title, everything up to and including body tag

print xx

# print rest of page

In the cgi script xx is "C" and not "de_DE.utf-8". Looks as if setlocale
isn't executed.

If I do the same things using Windows instead of Linux, setlocale is
executed in the cgi script, no difference to the interactive interpreter.
