As Martin said, you need to set the LC_TIME category using an empty string to use the locale LC_* environment variables. Python 3 sets LC_CTYPE at startup (on Unix platforms only), but LC_TIME is left in the initial C locale:

    >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_CTYPE, None)
    'en_DK.UTF-8'
    >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, None)
    'C'
    >>> time.strftime('%x')
    '02/06/17'

    >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, "")
    'en_DK.UTF-8'
    >>> time.strftime('%x')
    '2017-02-06'
