 On my Windows NT box the system default is Hungarian, but the locale module
partly works:
number and date/time formatting is ok, sort order is wrong.
I think you can set the German locale this way:
import locale
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL,'de')
After this number and time formatting should work automaticly. For sorting I
tried to use locale.strcoll, but the return values of this function aren't
correct for Hungarian locale.
