Maybe this is just about as much work as writing a CoreFoundation based locale module? I'm not sure which parts of Python are affected by setlocale().

As a side note, I'm currently working on wrapping ICU as a Python module, which would give you reliable cross-platform locale support, independent of the system locale. Incidentally, ICU is what Apple uses in MacOS X anyhow...

This module will not be ready before 2.4... :-(
