questions about locale and Windows

[Manlio Perillo]

Regards.

I have a few questions about locale handling on Windows.

The first: why getlocale() returns (None, None) when the locale is 'C'?

The second is: why this code fails?:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#15>", line 1, in -toplevel-
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, (loc, enc))
File "C:\Python2.4\lib\locale.py", line 381, in setlocale
return _setlocale(category, locale)
Error: unsupported locale setting


Fortunately'Italian_Italy.1252'

and
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL)
'C'

works...



Thanks Manlio Perillo
