Same happens when someone pastes an error onto a mailing list like
this. Unless there's some easily-identifiable token (maybe the
exception type doesn't get localized, though that has its own
consequences) by which everyone world-over can recognize the
exception, this would be a major nuisance. Also, once the interpreter
core and a few parts of the stdlib get localized, this would add a
barrier to entry for new modules... not sure this is a good thing.

Can we internationalize English instead of localizing Python?
