> Python provides locale.getlocale().
That was my initial thought too, but it seems that getlocale() doesn't
accept LC_ALL as its argument:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.3/locale.py", line 523, in getlocale
raise TypeError('category LC_ALL is not supported')
TypeError: category LC_ALL is not supported
