Modified Files: testlogging.py Log Message: Restore the locale to "C" on exit.

If this doesn't happen, it leaves the locale in a state that can cause other tests to fail. For example, running teststrptime, testlogging, and testtime in that order.

Or test_logging, test_strptime in that order, with no other tests between them. Can someone who understands the intended use of locale (i.e., any non-American <0.5 wink>) figure out the right thing to do here? Or is forcing locale.LC_ALL to "C" at the end of test_logging the right thing already? I kinda doubt it, cuz it seems to bode ill if test_strptime fails "just because" someone changed locale before test_strptime got run.
