Okay, so if I'm writing a wsgi app, and I want to format depending on 
the choices of the currently logged in users, what would you recommend?

I can't do setlocale, since that would affect all users, and in a 
mult-threaded environment that would be bad.

Does that mean the whole locale package is useless to all web-app builders?
