Oh, about ICU:
Actually, I remember you saying that locale should ideally be replaced with a wrapper around the ICU library. By that, I stand - however, I have given up the hope that this will happen anytime soon. Perhaps this could be made a GSOC topic. Incidentally, this may also address another Python's Achilles' heel: the timezone support. http://icu-project.org/download/icutzu.html
Does ICU do anything regarding timezones that datetime + pytz doesn't already do? Wouldn't it make more sense to integrate the already-existing-and-pythonic pytz into Python than to make a new wrapper based on ICU?
