locale.getlocale(category=LC_CTYPE) Returns the current setting for the given locale category as sequence containing language code, encoding. category may be one of the LC_* values except LC_ALL. It defaults to LC_CTYPE. Except for the code 'C', the language code corresponds to RFC 1766. language code and encoding may be None if their values cannot be determined. --- The non-standard 'C' language code is documented. I am not sure that 'current program setting' is an improvement, especially if details have changed. So closing as 'good enough'
