Thanks for the report. There was a lengthy discussion of this behavior a few years ago in Issue3067. At that time it was decided not to change this behavior for 2.7. I'm not sure if the __future__ "unicode_literals" was considered then, however you can work around it by using the b"" literal syntax:
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, b'POSIX')

superseder: -> setlocale error message is confusing
