[issue18378] locale.getdefaultlocale() fails on Mac OS X with default language set to English

[Ronald Oussoren]

Ronald Oussoren added the comment:

The alias mechanism cannot be used because LC_CTYPE=UTF-8 as the locale doesn't imply anything about languages. 

In Linux terms it is more or less equal to "C.UTF-8" or "POSIX.UTF-8", except that those two aren't valid locales on OSX.
