But not on OS X. It raises TestSkipped saying how locale support is so minimal that it isn't worth testing. Yeah, I'm going remove that and test it out...that message may be bogus at this point - it was put there a year and a half ago by Jack, and I'm reasonably sure that no one's tested it since (and I don't believe it anyhow - it's more like Python's support is bad - MacOS X's support for locale is pretty good).

Uh, sure about that? It certainly wasn't the impression I had.

Cheers, mwh
