[issue6203] 3.x locale does not default to C, contrary to the documentation and to 2.x behavior

[Alexis Metaireau]

Alexis Metaireau <alexis at notmyidea.org> added the comment:

Maybe could it be useful to specify in the documentation that getlocale() is not intended to be used to get information about what is the locale of the system? 

It's not explained currently and thus it's a bit weird to have getlocale returning (None, None) even if you have your locales set.
