I got around to testing the above, and it works. Also, the Python docs
say "if [locale is] an iterable, it’s converted to a locale name using
the locale aliasing engine." This doesn't work on Windows. It aliases
a tuple of ('German_Germany', '1252') to 'de_DE.cp1252', which Windows
doesn't recognize.
