How do you implement that? In particular, how do you retrieve information for different locales in a single program? The locale module would be able to return a named locale dict:

loc = locale.getnamedlocale('enUK') Ok, so, in turn: how do you implement that (what C API specifically do you use to implement that getnamedlocale function)? I suppose there could be some sort of locale database. A downloadable, up-to-date copy of the database could be maintained on the Python website.
