Content 
The locale_alias database was extended to support "en_AG" and many others, but I'd still prefer Serhiy's suggestion to not guess the codeset when checking the default LC_CTYPE category. Use locale.nl_langinfo(locale.CODESET), if it's available. 

In Windows, I'd prefer to never guess since the encoding for a BCP-47 locale name can be directly queried. But this issue can be restricted to POSIX. What to do in Windows is already being considered in more recent issues: bpo-23425, bpo-37945, and bpo-43115.
