[issue5903] strftime fails in non UTF-8 locale

[Ezio Melotti]

Here the issue might be different though. Does 
$ LC_ALL=ru_RU.koi8-r python3.0 -c 'import time;time.strftime("%A")'
(without the print) work?

I don't have the ru_RU locale but here time.strftime() return 'str', not
'bytes' and the utf-8 codec should be able to encode it:
>>> time.strftime("%A")
'Saturday'
>>> type(_)
<class 'str'>
