Probleme with locale

[Christophe Prevost]

Hi,

I need locale for my re in french. And there's something strange...

import locale
this work ->
>>>locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "")
>>>locale.getdefaultlocale()
('fr_FR', 'cp1252')

this doesn't work ->
>>>locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "fr_FR")

Tell me Why?
