[issue29571] test_re is failing when local is set for `en_IN`

I've also added Matthias and Barry to the cc list, in case this does turn out to be a Debian or Ubuntu specific quirk.

Restating the problem, the issue is that test_locale_flag in test_re may fail for at least the en_IN locale, and we're not sure yet whether that's a test bug, a locale module bug, or a distro bug:

    LANG=en_IN ./python -m test -v test_re

We've only confirmed it on Ubuntu so far though - I haven't been able to reproduce it on Fedora, and Jaysinh hasn't been able to reproduce it since switching to Gentoo.
