python itself uses this func,

I don't even ask getlocale()!

I just do:

time.strptime(tim, '%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S')

somewhere and enjoy:

time.strptime(tim, '%Y%m%dT%H:%M:%S')
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/_strptime.py", line 269, in ?
    _TimeRE_cache = TimeRE()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/_strptime.py", line 188, in __init__
    self.locale_time = LocaleTime()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/_strptime.py", line 73, in __init__
    self.lang = _getlang()
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/_strptime.py", line 32, in _getlang
    return locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/locale.py", line 363, in getlocale
    return _parse_localename(localename)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/locale.py", line 278, in
_parse_localename
    raise ValueError, 'unknown locale: %s' % localename
ValueError: unknown locale: eu_ES

so basque feels like he's ATIA here
