[Pythonmac-SIG] How badly is _locale broken?

[Brett C.]

I am planning to attempt to fix the _locale module (which 'locale' itself 
imports and uses) for OS X.  As of this exact moment I am planning just fixing 
localeconv (thanks to CFNumberFormatter and setlocale still at least storing 
the supposed locale, even if it does ignore it), but I realized other stuff 
might be broken.

Since I never personally use the module, does anyone know the extent of the 
breakage?  Obviously I would rather just have to fix localeconv and keep my 
life simple, but if it is more extensive I can see what I can do.
