It worked fine on my Windows box. Haven't had a chance to check on Linux
yet.

On my Windows box if I try and set the locale to "de" it gives me the same
error (locale setting not supported).
I guess we are both missing important information in our setups.

FYI if I set the locale to "us"  and then "uk" I get the reply:

>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "us")
'English_United States.1252'
>>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "uk")
'English_United Kingdom.1252'
