Ah, I can tell you exactly why that is, then. I noticed this in
pythonrun.c while grepping the source:
#ifdef HAVE_SETLOCALE
/* Set up the LC_CTYPE locale, so we can obtain
the locale's charset without having to switch
locales. */
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "");
#endif
SVN blames Martin in r56922, so this case is assigned appropriately.
Perhaps changing only LC_CTYPE is safe? I must admit to ignorance as to
what all the LC variables mean/control.
