POSIX 2008 provides a system interface, uselocale, to set locales individually on a thread basis rather than just process global, as currently supported with locale.setlocale().  uselocale is supported in most current GNU libc, BSD, and OS X releases.  While there is currently a third-party package available in PyPI, it currently doesn't claim to support Python 3 and it would be good to have uselocale as part of the standard library where available.
