Ok, I'll check that out, thanks. Hope that list is about more than win32com If you do a rather more specific statement than "this does not >work in Windows" would be helpful. One can set LANG in Windows (of course), but Windows does not appear to ever use it. So it's pointless. setx LANG France.French.1252 && python -c "from locale import *; setlocale(LC_ALL, ''); print(getlocale())" ... Does not print a French locale on my non-French system >Your Python and Windows version(s) >might possibly assist as well :) Windows Server 2012 R2 (x64), and preferably also Win 7 x64. Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4, and ideally also pypy. >-- >My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask >what you can do for our language. > >Mark Lawrence > >-- >https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
