If I were writing such a function I'd use
locale.nl_langinfo(locale.YESEXPR). (and NOEXPR) A survey of these on my
system indicates these all accept y/n, but additionally accept their own
language's term (or a related language - en_DK supports danish J/N, and
en_CA supports french O/N). Mostly these use syntax compatible with
python regex, though a few use (grouping|alternation) with no backslash.
